William Prescott Jeffers

Heartfelt condolences to all of Will's family and friends. I knew will when he was much younger. A family friend, we shared a passion for crafts and DIY projects. Will showed us all, at a very young age, that he could pretty much build or create anything he set his mind to - he really created some impressive stuff, we still have the Teak kaleidoscope - and it still gets "wows and compliments." I remember him as a good natured gentle soul, and an amazingly talented sailor. Love to all of you at this difficult time.

Sept. 7. I´m so sorry to hear about Will today. Will crewed for my husband Bill several times in Red Bank and in Florida. Bill passed on April 27. If there is sailing in heaven, they have a 30-boat length lead at the finish. Heartfelt condolences, Laura and family.

I was so sad to hear of Will's passing. I just happened to be reading Scuttlebutt when I read his tribute on line.

I knew Will while at Tulane. We were both on the Sailing Team together and I had the opportunity to race against and with him for several years. He was a fabulous sailor, an absolutely fierce competitor on the water and a really wonderful person and pleasure to be around. He was a committed and passioned fan of the Lightning even back in college and I was not surprised to read that he gave so much to his beloved fleet through the years. He will be missed.

May the breeze be fair and warm and always at your back Will!

VERY sorry to hear this NICE MAN
