Carlene and family, I am so saddened to hear of Wil’s passing. He may be gone but never forgotten and remember he is “Just a heartbeat away”. He was such a gentle man, loved to talk about his military experience, and always a gentle wave when he was out walking. Be comforted in knowing he is celebrating with the angels this Holy Season. Love and prayers to all. As my husband Tony always called him “Willy lump lump” RIP. Sincerely Wanda Sella

Carlene and Family, I am so very sorry for your loss. I’m praying for all of you. God grant him eternal rest and His perpetual light shine upon him.

Carlene, Beth and the entire Family, I am so saddened to hear of his sudden passing. This comes so quickly on the heels of my dads passing. The pain is so hard. May you find peace and comfort in the memories. I will forever remember him from when I used to babysit Ben, Ashley and Rachel at the house while Beth was doing hair always offering me food to eat and more recently greeting my kids at the door when I brought them there trick-or-treating. He was a sweet, sweet man. He and my Dad can share stories together in Heaven. Praying for all of you. ❤️
