Wil was a wonderful person, always quick to smile and offer a greeting. I loved playing golf with Wil especially if I rode in the cart with him. He always had a supply of crackers, peanuts, grapes, etc hidden in his bag that he would share. He loved playing golf with the PGA group, and we all enjoyed the golf more because of Wil’s presence. He truly made golf a social experience. He will be missed by many folks.
God bless you Wil, and may you rest in peace.

I hadn’t seen Wil in a long time but I remember him being a very loving husband. I know how much love was shared between Wil and Janice and how much she will miss him. I am glad he is out of pain and know he will be watching over you Janice. Make sure to give Blue a pat for his daddy each day. Love you. Crystal
Wil was a joyful, positive force in the world. His love, especially for Janice and his “boys,” touched the lives of everyone around him. Time spent with him, whether watching the river flow by, riding a train, or just making breakfast, was always a little celebration of living. He was, and will always be, an inspiration — as well as an uncle — to me. Happy fishing Wil.
