I had the privilege of meeting and photographing Will for retail. He always came to set with a smile, open to ideas, and incredibly personable. If I saw him on a pier, I would have thought he was a master fisherman. If I passed him in a mall playfully pointing off in the distance, I would have thought him to be a perceptively charming partner. If I had seen him carrying a golf bag on the course, I would have assumed he was carrying it for a friend. Will was teeming with talent and we were honored to be able to showcase it to the world.

His memory seems to live on in his work.
It doesn't matter how long time passes, the hurt never gets any easier but thank God for the memories.

I am so terribly sad to read of Will's passing. I worked with him on a movie in Puerto Rico several years ago and he was always upbeat, sweet and kind. A total professional and a stellar human being. This is so sad. Please accept my deepest condolences. As I'm in California, I won't be able to come to the memorial service but my thoughts will be with you all.

We worked with Will's Mother, Lyn Hasenzahl for many years, and she kept us up on Will's career, and was very proud of him. Our condolences to Bobbi and all of the family. Eileen Kitzmiller & Dean S. Robinson.

I'm so sorry for your loss. May the God of comfort bring you peace during this difficult time. Psalms 94:18,19 brings out that God will comfort and support you.

Bobbi, My deepest condolences for the loss of Will. He was a great man and will be deeply missed. My prayers to you and your family.

I only knew him casually, when he & Bobbi would bring Jozee to the Animal Hospital of Northwood. I was a receptionist, so we would have some time to talk. He was always special. I'm still grieving since getting the news of his death. My heartfelt wishes go to Bobbi, who is also a very special person.
