Not Sure if you "kids" remember We used to own the Tin Buck Two. Just wanted to let you know you're all in our thoughtts and prayers. Your Dad was a wonderful person.. He was always there to lend a helping hand without asking for anything in return. If you had him as a friend you were blessed with his loyalty. We have many memories of him and still think of him often mostly about the "Hand Stand" he could do on the bar . He will be missed

Brave-Heart...He didn't lose the battle...he won eternal life with the Lord. He never gave in to Cancer..but fought it by research and faith and making every day count. Suzy says he was her Hero...It is comforting to know he has perfect healing in a heavenly body.

We are sorry to hear about Will. Joe has memories of working with him years ago. Including one where they were both tired of their sandwich makings, so they switched them and didn't have to eat the same old one! Joe was smiling while he told me about it. Our condolences to his family.

My thoughts and prayers are with your kids and grandkids and your brothers and sisters. You had such a zest for life, such a good heart and wonderful sense of humor.

To Will's family__
We were so sorry to hear that he had gone home. He will always be remembered with a smile. He had the remarkable ability to make people feel better just by being in the same room with him. His smile could light up a room! It is hard to lose a dad, but he is in heaven now, where there is no illness to contend with. He will be waiting on the other side for you when your work here is done. Be proud of all the good things he left you. His legacy to you was his spirit, his optimism, his stories, and the ability to live life to its fullest. Keep the memories bright, and know he loved you all very much. Out thoughts and prayers are with you.

To each and every one of Will's family,
There really are no "right" words to express our sadness for all of you. You have lost a truly wonderful man. We all have. He always had a heart of gold and a smile and laugh that was contagious. Wes has known him his whole life and as adults they developed a wonderful friendship. Being neighbors, friends, and working together led to so many wonderful memories. James and I always knew who Wes was talking to on the phone, without even asking! He would laugh and laugh at some story Will was telling. Will had a gift of storytelling. He would call and leave us messages on our answering machine or sing us a song. I can not tell you how many times he brightened our days. We will miss him something fierce! Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

My deepest sympathy to all of Will's family. Oh, so many memories. My favorites - "Wipeout" on the drums, his singing in the band,kicking up our heels(good dancer!),and oh the stories he could tell! Our one of a kind cousin will be missed deeply.

Will was a very wonderful, caring person and will be held in a special place in the hearts of many. We are saddened that his time has ended here but he will always be remembered for the happiness and laughter he shared with many. One of my fond memories was when he sang "Little Bitty Tear" at a talent show in Midland.

Was saddened to hear of Will. It came all to soon. Of all the many cousins I have, he is one of those that always stood out for me. I always admired his sense of humor. This old world would not have been the same without him. I also remember him always willing to lend a helping hand, his dancing and musical propensity, particularly Wipeout :) I know he loved his fishing and that is probably what he is doing right now. Catch one for my nieces and nephews Will. It is not good bye but See You Soon.

I read through what everyone wrote and it is all so true. Will was the kindest person in the world. His musical talents were truly amazing. His bar handstand was a huge memory for me as well. He was so kind to me and was a huge part in me feeling comfortable singing in front of people. "Mattea" was what he called me and would ask me to sing "18 Wheels and a Dozen Roses" He was a wonderful person with such a wonderful heart. I am praying for all of you. May God bless with you with many of the wonderful times you had together.

Cousins are always especially close it seems. Even if we may not get a chance to visit as often as we would like. Will was a very special person to me and we shared a lot of great memories together. It is extremely hard to believe that He is gone. My deepest sympathy to all of his family. He was a very special person and will be greatly missed. Rest in Eternal Peace Will! I Love You! We all Loved you!

Our hearts, and prayers go out to you. Talk about a tough man, Uncle Will. He kept his spirits high even at the lowest of times. Just a split second of thinking about him brings a smile to my face. Be strong, and faithful.
Will lived every day to the fullest. It reminds me of John Wayne's Head Stone which Read: "Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives, and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learnt somethin' from yesterday."

To all Will's family, He was one of a kind, good hearted, a guy who was in touch with the simple things in life, he truly "lived". Just thinking of some of the things he did and said puts a smile on my face. Couldn't find a better person to have help working cattle. Knew how to catch catfish, that's for sure! He sure knew how to entertain people with some of his antics!!! We'll sure miss him.

What can I say about "Cousin Willy"? Love, laughter and that fabulous smile were with him wherever he went. My ribs never hurt so much as they did when Will was telling stories. I am forever grateful for the time he spent working for our family and the time he spent with Mom. They would sit an watch birds, visit and just spend time together. She enjoyed him so much. I certainly learned my lesson; never give Will a cow tongue banished to the corner of the freezer because it would end up being a very public thank you published in the Philip paper. Will, thanks for the love, laughter, dancing and smiles. You will remain forever in my heart.

To Will's entire family:
I was terribly saddened to recently hear of Will's passing. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers. I pray you find some peace.
That video was exactly Will as are all of these postings. I have not personally seen him in almost 20 years and every now and again I think of stuff involving him. It is always something that makes me smile or even laugh out loud. When I was over hanging out with Justin & Jared he was ALWAYS very nice to me & ALWAYS made me laugh. What a guy! He was a simple man with a simple way about him & that is why everyone remembers him so kindly. He is one person I will never forget. He will always be with us. Rest in Peace Willy.
