Although I did not know Will personally, he made me smile with the Snoopy post on Facebook. I wanted to go into the studio and work with him, but never got the chance. It is so amazing how he touched many people whom he did not know. May he rest in peace!

I grew up with William when we lived on Patricia Ave, in Pittsfield, Ma. We often played outside together with him, my brothers and our friends. We went to school together and would often go to his house and he to ours. We had many great memories together. With a heavy heart it saddens me deeply to learn of his sudden passing from my brother, David. My Sincere and Deepest Sympathies to his family, friends and loved ones. May God guide you through the tough days ahead and give you peace and comfort. I am so very sorry for your loss. Rest in Peace, Billy. Thank you for the fun times and memories of a wonderful childhood and as school mates. Go rest high on that mountain.

Saddened to hear the news of his passing...he was always such a fun loving guy and seemed to live life to it's fullest. God speed Bill, and rest in peace.

Will was a good friend when my wife and I lived in Indialantic. I remember coming into the studio often to share a coffee with Will and help him around the studio. He also helped me with my own recordings and I will not forget his deep love for Christ. Maggie was always there to support Will and she was a ray of sunshine through thick and thin.I will always treasure the memories of Will and the times we shared in and out of the studio. May the Lord bless him and keep him , and may the same Lord comfort those who are left behind.
