Not sure what to say?

Will was a regular at our coffee shop and our baristas just learned of his passing. We had noticed we hadn´t seen him for a while and worried. We are so sad to hear the news of his passing. We loved getting to talk to him and serving him his decaf Americanos. Rest in peace will

Here's to Will Cleveland; my enigmatic friend, who's passion for tennis, his tennis family, friends, THEE Ohio State University, and President Trump were paramount. I sure miss the phone conversations that we'd share several times a week about world events and about what was happening in each other's lives. Will accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior and received God's Assurance of Eternal Life one morning after a Sara's breakfast that we had. Looking forward to MANY more conversations with him...

Will may you rest in peace. You will be missed by all of at Sara's Family Restaurant. You were very intelligent and witty. You had that so composed orerny style which makes me smile. We already miss you coming through our front door. Condolences to Will's family. Much love sent from our staff.

In my first message I mentioned 35 years ago, it was actually 50+ years ago that as an owner with Bill Dailey we hired Will thru USTA to be our fabulous, much needed manager! Again, he shall be missed ! Annie Higbie Eckrich

Will was not just a great club manager; he got to know members and became their friends. Could always count on a pleasant "Good morning" from Will...and he helped with requests and behaved as fairly as one could....Take a 2nd serve, Will
