It's my dad's birthday today. He would have been 64.
I'm writing this so very late, but as Will's son, I would love to have any kind of story, information, picture and what not regarding him. I lost him too early, and I want him to live on through the stories of those that were lucky enough to have crossed paths with him, be it for days, weeks or years.
You can contact me these different ways

Happy birthday dad.

I miss you more than any words could ever express. Some days are so damn hard. Thanks for the memories that nobody can take and the message, I was able to smile for awhile. You wouldn't believe what has gone on down here, but then again, I think you know, you see from above.
You will be in My Heart, Always.

Will, today, we'll celebrate your life by enjoying these simple pleasures you cherished so: reading, watching a movie, just being in the present.
"Your absence has gone through me
Like thread through a needle.
Everything I do is stiched with its color."
Thank you for everything you taught us. We love you.

A Birthday Remembrance Will
Your true colors will always shine
Beautiful like a rainbow.
You colored my world for such
a short time.
Missing you more and more each

Will, you always made me proud of you. You were the best son, the best father, the best brother and friend. You are probably looking down on all of us, smiling at the humor and absurdity of life, as you enjoy a lively discussion with your favorite authors. Love you, son, I will see you in the sweet beyond.
For the living, we have a short VCD of Will's life remembered for any friend of his who contacts us.

I was notified of your death this morning by your Uncle Vince - who is a great man. I found peace in speaking with him and hearing stories of how great you were - which I already knew. You could always turn a negative into a positive. You were able to see the silver lining in dark clouds. Our combined sense of humor kept us both smiling. A quality we both liked about eachother. You will be missed dear friend. Rest in peace. May the Lord wrap his arms around you and your family and give strength and hope to all of those who love you.... Always.. J.J.

Will, we will miss your visits and going to the beach with you. Candice will especially miss going to the movies with you and making you that special latte in the morning. I'll miss kicking the soccer ball with Milan while you nap in my chair and playing in the garage while keeping one eye on a game. The world is so much emptier without your smile and warmth and quiet knowledge. We will never forget. WE LOVE YOU!
Uncle Vince & Aunt Candice.

Will, your family in Europe feels blessed to have known you. My parents, my brother, my sister, my nephews and nieces, cousins, uncles and ants cherish every memory they shared with you.
You know that we are all there for Milan. Now, you live on through him. Another gift.
I'll try to make you proud of him, and I promise to take him to the Dali museum in Spain!

Will, the man-cave won't be the same without you in the love seat dozing after one of Joannie's great meals. We already miss you so much.
Go Seahawks! (didn't think i'd ever say that) God Bless you, he blessed us by your friendship. Love Ya Buddy

We were so deeply saddened to hear of Will's tragic passing. He was such a warm, kind, gentle soul. We had the pleasure of meeting Milan a few times when he was here visiting his Dad. He seemed like such a fine, young boy and Will was so proud of him. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and we will always keep Will close to our heart.

All of us will miss Will's infectious smile. He was so loving and kind. I hope if you see this Milan you will remember how much your dad loved you. Thank you Carol for bring Milan to see all his dad's friends. I hope this gives Milan some comfort knowing that we all cared deeply about his dad. To all his family, Our thoughts are with you.

Will I miss seeing your smiling face. There is no-one there to pick on Joanie. Milan is a special child and will grow up to be a special man just like his Dad.

Will was such a special person who was always there with his smile and his love. Although he didn't grow up in Southie - he was one of us. He was always there to lend a hand or a shoulder to lean on when needed. Everyone who knew him loved him and knew that Milan was his life. We will cherish our memories and the friendship that was taken much too soon.
Until we meet again my friend may God hold you in the palm of his hand.
Your friend,
Ellen Felton
