All the love in the world ❤️
Very sorry to hear the news of Willy’s passing. We became friends through his visits to Bracebridge. Heck of a guy. He fought like a warrior. Rest easy pal.
I will miss sending you our annual NINmas holidays cards and will miss speaking to you. See you on the other side
Will,
We meet in a funny way; our love for live music was our link.
For some, lining up is just waiting but for us that was the way to have so much fun.
And you were one of the funniest.
You always had the good word, the positive attitude that made all of us says “is Will coming for the show ?”
You’ll always have your place on the rail with us.
You’ll be deeply missed.
To Rita and Family
We offer our condolences to the loss of your Brother.
He had suffered for such a long time
He is now at peace from this suffering
God Bless the Family in dealing with his loss
Franco and Josie
To Ken, Rita and the boys, Will was a pleasure to work with for the past 30 years he was smart hard working and a very dedicated guy. My deepest condolences i will miss Willie very much.
Regards

My sincere condolences on Wills passing.
He was a very kind soul and always had a smile on his face.
He was the life of the party
I’ll always remember you introducing me to Andrew Dice Clay at 12 years old. We laughed our asses off and still a fan today. Rita thought we were nuts.
Living far away kept us from knowing each other as adults but we will defiantly hook up one day on the other side.
Condolences to Zia Iolanda and the family.
I was quite saddened to hear of Will’s passing. I knew Will in high school and heard through the grapevine he had lost his life . I’m so sorry for your loss Rita and family. Will was a wonderful character, his smile and wit has filled so many of us. Such a kind person, gone too soon.
My deepest condolences ,my sorrow for your terrible loss,it’s a very sad day.I know there are no words that can comfort you right now ,try to be strong in this difficult time, William’s love will always be with you all
Rita, Ken and the boys. My sincere condolences on Will’s passing. Over the past 30 years Will and I have had many conversations about his love of music. He was a DJ, a drummer, and followed NIN around the globe. Along with that he also enjoyed talking about his trips abroad running marathons. Will loved life to the fullest and lived it to the end. He will be missed by all who knew him. Keep his memories in your hearts.
William, non hai mai lasciato trapelare un malessere, hai affrontato tutto con coraggio e forza. Abbracciamo forte dall’ Italia te, zia Iolanda, Rita, tutta la famiglia.
I only got to meet Will a handful of times but I can say that when he was going through his battle with cancer, he was still so enthusiastic and had good, high energy when I was around him. It was truly inspiring and a testament to the kind of man he was. So grateful I had the opportunity to meet him and my deepest condolences to his family and other friends ❤️
hey Will…thank you for your friendship during our times working together at DJ Mastermix and giving me my DJ Name Fabulous Frank! I know you are rocking it up there in the Spirit in the Sky!!! God Bless and RIP!
