Dear Betty and family- I had the pleasure of knowing Will when he hired me onto SMF Systems. He was so kind and warm. He was a wonderful mentor and quickly because a friend. We both went through a lot of emotional games at that company but we always stuck together as a team. He always spoke so highly of his family, always so proud of his wife, children and his beloved dog. I am very saddened by his death and pray for all of you during this most difficult time.
