Terry, Wendy, Russ & Nathan,
my deepest sympathy to all of you during this difficult time.
It has been a priviledge to know him. From very early in my life being your flower girl in your wedding and driving him crazy with my finger painting to watching him sign his name with both hands at the SAME TIME.
I have so many great memories of him and your family. His smile and laugh is what I will cherish.
Love to you all and may he rest in peace.

this time. All my love and prayers to all of you. God bless and keep you.
Wish I could be with you.

I will miss his humor. He always had a kind word for everyone. If I ever needed help he was always the first
one to help. May he rest in peace.

Rest well Uncle Will, my family saw you far too infrequently but will always hold the memories dear. You were a true gentleman and deserve eternal peace xxx

I was lucky enough to visit with Will on his recent visit to NW Indiana.I can not even imagine the pain that the family is going thru. Will had years left in him that have been stolen away.I will keep him in my thoughts.

I miss my father dearly. He gave me so much in life. I am the person I am, with my two beautiful daughters, my incredible wife, and my son who will come soon, only because of the man he helped make me. I am forever in his debt, in this life and the next.Love you dad…
