Paula and kids, please know that I share your sorrow and your loss. Bill (and later, Will) is a good friend from grade school (MPB), thru high school, and several years after.

Of course about there is where life happened and contact lost, but obviously many, many of us remember Will and have good, no, great, memories of times with and around him.

Bill, Will, Chris Williams (radio name). Playground, scouts, high shool life, VW Bug, cottage, and more. I will long remember. He's really still here, with you and a whole bunch of us.

Please endure, Paula. I wept as well. n

I enjoyed the years working with Will at Dunsirn Industries. He was truly dedicated to his family and work. The highlight for me was when Will narrated our first marketing video. He had the golden voice that should have ended up on television! He will be missed by all who knew him.
