I am sorry to learn that Wills has died. I always enjoyed seeing him when he brought his cats to me. They were part of his family too and I know that he loved all of you.
My prayers are with you in this time of sorrow.

He was a very nice man- brought pictures of his past in to show us all & his 1970 Barbizon modeling pictures . I had taken a picture with myself and him with a coworker and gave it to him the last time I saw him. I am sorry for his loss and prayers to the family. XOXO Heather Howell Newark NY
