God works in mysterious ways which we may not understand. All I know is that Willie was a GOOD MAN with Great intentions and It was an honor of knowing him. As hard as it is to loose a loving family member, just believe that he now is in a better place with no pain, so always keep your heads up. God bless you all and we Love you! Sincerely: Fro and the Luciano Family!

Will was one of the nicest people we have ever met.  He was kind, funny, talented, caring — always there with support for his friends. We will miss his smile, kindness, and warm hugs.  The world is a much lonelier place without him.  He will be dearly missed, but always remembered.  Sincere condolences to Rob and Will’s family and friends.  All of us are experiencing a profound loss.
Carolyn and K.J.
