Dear Joanne and Family.It was only today that I sadly learned of Wil's passing while his Leo '51 classmates prayed for the repose of his soul at our 60th anniversary luncheon--which I know he was planning to attend. I got to know Wil a lot better this past year at our First Friday get-togethers after Mass at Incarnation. He was a real fun guy to be with and a great story teller. I am so sorry for your loss and please accept my sincere sympathies. -Fondly. Jerry Blaesing, Munster.Indiana June 8, 2011
