I'm so sorry to hear about Will. He was always one of my favorite students. He made our class entertaining. One year in our 7th period class, we had an imaginary student. That, I think was to Will's credit. I always enjoyed having him as a student. My prayers and love are with your family.

So sorry for your loss. We always think of Will when we think of Saks Baseball and our boys and yours playing. He will be missed. He was such a sweet person. Prayers for the family. May the Lord comfort your family at this time.

Will and my son James played T-Ball together. One game they played will be etched in my memory forever! If my memory serves me right, Will played first and my son played third. In this specific game the other team had a man on first and a line drive was hit to James, which he caught, and threw it to Will to double the player off first. Will made a great catch and that ended a tight game. I am so sorry for your loss and I will always remember Will as that young boy playing T-Ball! God bless your family through this difficult time.
