I have been trying to track you down and found this sad news. I am so sorry.
I would love to hear from you.

I attended O.C.A on an entry scholarship by skipping first year and didnt know what to expect until I got Will as a teacher. Thats when I knew I wanted to be an Illustrator when I graduated. Unbelievable work by the man and such a gentleman . He was such an inspiration to me from 1969 to 1971. God Bless you Will.

I remember Mr Davies in the 60's. His daughters and I went to school together.
A great family. Pam, his daughter and I were friends all the way back to elementary school.
It was at Mr Davies (have to call him that) insistence that I became a model after a bunch of us posed for what I remember as a Coca Cola ad with a 1948 Firetruck.
I loved his old cars.... I remember the Jaguar and the RollsRoyce.
My condolences to the family and my long ago friends.

Sincere condolences to the family, whom we were neighbours with growing up. I remember the old MG, and the sleigh on the front lawn. The wonderful art everywhere and the scent of oil paint wafting from the studio. Playing at the Davies' house was always an adventure. I have fond memories of Lesley and I playing in that wonderful house. Mr. Davies was a kind and fascinating neighbour who instilled artistic expression in his children. Pam, Jennifer, Kerry, Lesley and Joseph, your Dad was one of a kind and the Dell family send our deepest sympathies. May fond memories comfort you in the days ahead.

Rest in peace Mr. Will Davies. My condolences to your family. I was honoured to have been a student in your class during my 4 years at OCA. It has had lasting influence.

Will was always one of my favourite illustrators and instructors. I count it a privilege to have had his mentorship, instruction and his friendship over the years. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to express this to him a few months while he was in hospital. Thanks again Will for your inspiration.

I knew Will through my parents Anne nd Fred Armstrong, both commercial artists, as was the title, back in the 50's,60's. I followed in their footsteps, working in Toronto during the 70's/80's. I took an illustration class with him at OCA(as it was called at the time). night school in the 70's. A gentle man. I just loved his illustrative style. He was a mentor , for sure. Surprised he passed in The West Parry Sound Health Centre. I live 25 minutes north of there now. I would have loved to have re connected with him. So sorry to hear this news.

Truly a lovely brilliant man. In the 70's I worked for TDF Productions, Will did countless illustrations for advertising with the company. At that time I was a research art librarian and provided him with pictorial information for reference. He was such a pleasure to work with. We always remember the people in our lives that make us smile. My sincere condolences.

Although I never personally met Will,I feel as though I met him through the heart of his daughter Leslie. You have instilled in Leslie a heart for God,a compassion for others and a love of art. I'm sure you were proud of her accomplishments with her books.
