I am so very sorry about the passing of Will. Even though I know he is in a better place, I can't help but feel a deep loss. I have only known Will a little over seven years and worked with him a little over two years, he seems like a lifetime friend. Loved talking football and basketball with him. Me and him also shared a love for hot sauce and shared a bottle at work. God's speed my friend and enjoy your reward. Everyone will miss your easy laugh and sense of humor. Paul Hatfield

This deeply saddens me to learn of the passing of William. He and I had become great friends over the years. He had worked with my dad at American Greetings for many years and many times we would talk about him and their times together. We had many friendly chats at Advance about sports, the condition of the world, and many other topics. My sincere condolences to his family on the loss of a truly fine person. William was always a bright spot to my day when we saw one another. He will be missed by so many......
