Not sure what to say?

William I loved you from a child growing up together. You were my big cousin and you took me everywhere you went. I learned a lot from you. I looked for you over the years and couldn't locate you. This morning something said google your name and here you are . I never forgot you. Now I know your with Grandma, Uncle Honey and Aunt Rose, My Dad and Son. Live Heavenly until we meet again . I'm sad but I know your ok. ❤

I am so very sorry to learn of Bills passing. I had the pleasure of working with Bill on second shift at EB in the mid 90's. We had many interesting conversations. He loved movies and had an extensive collection of tapes and was kind enough to let me borrow a few. When I was chosen to work in another department, Bill said it was a good choice and that I would learn many aspects of design and manufacturing...it was exactly as he said. I will always remember Bill and will think of him often....

Will'll be missed by many of us at EB. RIP my friend!

Will was a great Designer. He was also a fan of the weekly salsa bar at work. He loved to hear the words "The salsa bar is open". Goodbye my friend.

Will,

You were a friend to all, and a foe to none. Thank you for all the times we spoke about the Bronx and all the changes over the years from when my Dad lived and grew up there and our visits, and to all the experiences you shared with me about the old neighborhood...those are memories I shall never forget. I've already said a prayer to my dad about you, hopefully you can both meet each other and have some real good stories to tell buddy.. I only wish I could be there to hear...
