Wil was one of my mentors on the Cannabis project in Costa Rica. He kindly encouraged me despite my not being a physician (that never was an issue with him) and I valued his counsel. I'll miss him.

Dear Pam,
I am so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I believe I met him a few times during the PKY days and he was always very gracious. Again, accept my condolences.
