Nancy, My wife and I (Jeannie Hett) worked with Will. I also knew him professionally in several different venues. He was always a gentle spirit who we enjoyed and appreciated. I was very sad when I learned of his tumor which eventually took his life. He has left an indelible mark on our family and will be remembered fondly. He and I shared the same birthday separated by only 1 year (I’m older) and always remembered that we had that to share as well.
Our Sympathies to You!!!
