Willy, my long lost friend(and best buddy back in 7th grade), Friends like you are a rare breed. I remember back in early 1986 when we had lunch at school and were roommates on our 7th grade trip to Canada. You may be gone, but you'll never be forgotten.

Will, even though we had not seen each other in nearly a decade, I know that i will miss you forever.

Good night my friend, and when you awake we will all be together again; we lucky three, forever to enjoy the halcyon days of our youth among one another once more.

I know that Mike and I, will never be the same again now that you are gone. Rest in peace my friend, until we meet again, on the other side.

What a shock to hear of your passing, Willy- you were far too young to leave us... Way back in the day all those years ago how much fun we all had in the Pub days... Christy, Collette, Helene, Ivan, Randy, etc... Good times. You will be missed by all whose lives you touched.~ R.I.P.
