    Will was such a blessing to me and Jerry and all the ball players. He was always at Robbie's ball games. He loved sports and did not matter who was playing. He pulled for both sides no matter who. He always had such a beautiful smile on his face. Never saw any anger in this man. The world is a better place because of him. We will miss him but will see him again in his heavenly home. Praying for Sylvia and family. I am sure he is sitting at a ball park in heaven with God the couch. Love you all Jerry and karon

    Will was my best friend's father.  I imagine that if God let kids design their father, there would be a lot more Dads like Will.  Unfortunately, as far as I know, he was one of a kind...
