I have wonderful memories of Wil growing up and starting his family. I was lucky to have Wil as my Stepson living with us from 6th grade until 10th grade. We enjoyed watching his football games. I remember his first Prom. He took a girl who lived at the Air Force Base. It was quite the feat to get through security to pick her up. This picture is his Senior picture. I'll remember him like this for
all time.
