Wil learned to play guitar by ear at a very young age, and played extremely well. He went on to master the world of IT, and became an independent tech for national platforms through self teaching and thrived in the art of knowledge. Wil was brave at heart, and one of the strongest people to have graced our family. His dry humor and sarcasm made some of the worst days bearable, and other days, ruffled feathers on purpose. He loved hard and fiercely and felt the most at peace spending time with his daughter. Wil was a wonderful chef in his own way and thoroughly enjoyed new ideas and techniques to achieve culinary perfectionism.

We will send out information about his celebration of life at a later date.
