Lee was the kindest person I ever knew. He was a truly a great friend to many. He played such an important role in my life, and I will miss him terribly. My thoughts are with his family, other friends and his students.

Mr. Williard was the becon of light in my sons life at Shaw. He was in shock and asked if this was a bad dream when I had to tell him. My son loved how Mr. Williard would make him laugh. As a parent, I cannot thank him enough for his tireless efforts in working with my son. As a fellow citizen of Beavercreek, we have lost a wonderful teacher, an asset to the community, and a wonderful friend to all who knew him. God bless you Mr. Williard..I only wish we could have been able to tell you this in person...

Lee - So many good memories of you. Your wonderful sense of humor and ability to put a smile on so many faces will always be remembered. You were a SUPER HERO to many students. The world is a better place because you were here. Missing you.

I am stunned at Lee's death. He was my student at Wittenberg, and I always remember him with a smile. He was so dedicated to the things he cared about, from pop culture to helping kids. A dazzling light has gone out.
