Not sure what to say?

Please accept my sincere and heartfelt sympathies to the family and loved ones of Mr. Will. He was someone I admired a great deal and always looked forward to the wonderfully interesting stories of his unique career and contributions to the history of American music. Rest in peace, Will.

May I send my deepest sympathy to Will's family. I am glad that I had a chance to know and meet such a talented musician. God Bless. Sincerely Roberta Linn

Will, you surely will be missed. I met you for the first time 15 years ago and we've reminised a lot about when we were living and working in LA and Hollywood. Little did I know when I visited you a week before you passed away, that it would be our final goodbye. Thank you for leaving your music legacy with us.

Will,
I'll miss playing for you. We all enjoyed the times you shared with us.
I'm especially grateful for the fun you gave Laurel. She'll cherish the
Mickey and Minny stuffed toys always!

If there is one thing Life has taught me already, it is that death does not stop the "creative spirit" and I know you will still be composing & arranging wonderful music we will still be able to hear and feel. You certainly touched many lives while you were with us, and your legacy will live on.
Christian Chalifour, Coachella Valley Symphony

You will be sorely missed. I have enjoyed playing in the Desert Pops Band and having you as a conductor. Rest in Peace.
