Daddy, living without you is so hard. There are so many moments where I think, "Dad would know what to do in this situation," or "I should ask Dad." It's just like living it all over again when this happens. I still can't talk about you in past tense. I never will. You are still here, but it's difficult to not hear your voice or feel you squeezing my hand when you want to tell me everything is okay. My heart breaks every day. I have been writing a list of your sayings, and we have reached nearly 300! Can you believe it? What an amazing legacy you have left. We will teach your grandchildren about you, because they need to know about the amazing person you are. I love you so much, Dad. I will always be your little girl, and your BF Anna.

Willie, I miss you so much my heart is broken without you!! I try so hard to be strong, I feel you with me. I have had some dreams of you, please keep finding ways to speak to me!

Love your head co!!

Daddy- I'm going to miss you everyday, you always had the right words to say, always gave the confidence in myself, which makes me the person I am today. The way your grand daughters looked up you and said Again, Papa, Again...even when you were so tired you alway put a smile on their faces, we will keep your memory alive and you will always be in my heart. Love You forever Jessy

I think Jake said it best yesterday: "Where there's a WILL, there's a way." We can all learn so much from the beautiful lessons that you lived each day. Lessons about hard work, respect, humor, family, but most of all about love. You will be deeply missed and our love for you will remain unwavering.

To my Uncle Willie, my Daddy, my Example, my so much more. Words cannot describe who you are to me. I would not be who I am or where I am today if it weren't for you. You Saved my life in so many ways. I LOVE YOU! I know you will always be with us in spirit. Thank you for being the most kind and loving man I have ever known!

To the Mathwig Family, I am so sorry for your loss. Will was one of the kindest men on this earth. He gave to me something I would not like to share publically, but will say his words stay with me today and because of who he was and the words he said to me...I am forever a better person and he alone gave this to me. I will move forward in my life with his kind words as a part of me and always use them to continue on my path of being a better person that he helped me to be. I will never forget him. THANK YOU WILL.

Oh Will, it's so hard saying goodbye to one of the most influential men I have had the privilege to know. I enjoyed working with you over the years and hearing all your wonderful family stories. You truly loved them all and they will miss you like crazy. I miss you already, just knowing you won't be around anymore. The Gemco and OSH years were good times and you were a big contribution to all of it. Rest in peace, my friend. Love, Janine

Will even though I never got to work with you it was always nice to see you when I was visiting my mom at osh. She would always talk about what a great boss you were and a true friend. My heart goes out to you and your family and you will always be remembered. Thank you for always being so kind to my family (especially to my son that you would refer to "the life of Riley". We shall see you again on the other side

Will, it just seems so surreal that this is happening, you were truly the best Boss & Store Manager I have ever had, it will never be the same without you, I will miss seeing you greet me with Good Morning as I walked in the store, but there is so much more then that. Thank You for everything you did for me at OSH, I will never forget you. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Audrey and family,
We want you to know that our prayers are with you all in you great loss. Will’s love for his family was always so evident. I remember when he’d stop by the plant (or as the kids called it when they were young “the brick farm”), he’d brag about all of you. Will was very influential not only in my career at GEMCO, but where I am today. We hope you can all take comfort in that your memories of him will last forever in your hearts.

Audrey and extended family....Even though we really didn't stay in contact, we knew you and your family were behind us in the neighborhood. All of us on Buckboard Drive extend our sympathies to you and yours during this trying time. Please know, if there is anything we can do for you, we are here.....just around the corner...sincerely..John and Dee Coleman and the rest of our street.

Will, you were not only a boss, but a true friend to me and my family. Dylan grew up in the Oshland along with your family. For this I am greatful for all the opportunities and wonderful memories you gave to us and the hard work you instilled in me as a single mother raising a child that had just lost his father. You will always be in our hearts and prayers of thankfulness with always be said in your memory.

Mr. Mathwig use to always make me and julie laugh when we would hang out at her house after school or on the weekends. You will truly be missed. The last time i saw you was at Julie's wedding and you had a huge smile. That is how I will always remember you

Will, you were more than my boss...you were my friend. I will miss seeing you at work when I got there in the morning, checking the clock to see if I was on time, our morning meetings when we would all laugh and and have a good time before we started work. Osh will not be the same without you. Love to your wonderful family...

Will, I am honored to have gotten to know you and become a part of your family. I know it wasn't long enough, but I will always cherish the time we got to spend together. You will always live on in your children, grandchildren and all of our memories. Thanks for being there for me.

Words cannot express the loss I feel. I wish there were words to express the ache I feel. You will always be in my thoughts and my prayers. And to quote one of my favorite baseball players when he said goodbye at Yankee Stadium, "Today I feel like I am the luckiest man on the face of the earth."
I feel that "I" am the luckiest man on the face of the earth to have had a brother like you. Love, your big brother, Mike.

Will, you were the BEST brother-in-law in the whole wide world. We shared many, many special times, good memories and much love among us because you were a part of us. You were the strength Mike and I needed many times (you got Mike off the mountain!!) You and Audrey were always at our side. We will LOVE you always and miss you beyond words. Mike and I will continue to always stay by Audrey and the kids. We love you.

I will miss you Uncle Will. Holidays will never be the same. I will miss having you next to me as my dad goes in for his surgeries and comforting me to let me know it will all be ok. I will miss those tight hugs you always use to give! I love you Uncle Will and always will.

Daddy, I miss you so much. I can't believe this is happening. I miss your hugs and your laugh. You had such an infectious laugh. Writing your article for the newspaper was the hardest thing I have ever written, because words do not compare to you. I love you so much, and I will do everything I can to keep your memory alive.
