I work at KIPP VOICE ACADEMY and recently changed duty spots, that put me at the gate with Mr Will. We use to chat everyday about old times and growing up with a lot of discipline. He was so fun to talk too. And loved his family! I'm going to truly miss him. Glad I had a chance to talk to him on that Friday before school let out. R.I.P Mr Will

I met William a few years back, when we were working as Road Rangers, he was one of my trainers but we became fast friends, we would go to Cleo´s sandwich shop and catch up from time to time from where we left off, will was the type of guy that would give you his last dollar or the shirt off his back if you needed it and he was a character, always could get you to smile if you were having a bad day. William you will be deeply missed brother!!!
