Will, when you started your ' second career' at Milwaukee Insurance as Senior Special Investigator, it was a success from day one. You truly were class and professional at all times. Besides that, you were a good friend and truly a nice guy. Everyone who worked with you and knew you were better for having done so. Rest in peace, you've earned it.
