He was a great great man with a wonderful family. He always pulled me aside and gave me advice like a dad or uncle would on what to look out for at the bar. The picture he gave me will hang on the walls of that bar forever!!! With love. T.J.

Our thoughts are with you and your loved ones on this sad day. His pain is over, and Will will be very missed. We will allways remember all the good times at camp. Will allways made us laugh. Will had the greatest outlook about life and his freinds that were around him like no other. Allways positive. Even when Ma Barker was on our trail. Again, Will will be greatly missed.

Sorry to hear about Will. I use to drink at that bar in o.beach, one day I played 'Steamroller' by James Taylor off the juke box. Will said "hey, i like that song".
I noticed he selected it a few more times that day.Funny, I was just thinking of him the other day, when it came on the radio. I only met him a few times,but I recall he was one nice guy. (and great taste in music,,i might add)
