I will always remember that he was a kind,gentle and loving man that worked all his life to provide and care for his family.I have never met anyone that could say different.

Will is my Father and I will miss him greatly. He was diagnosed with Alzheimers disease in 1984. In 1994 he was admitted to the American Lakes Veterans Hospital where he lived until he passed away.
It was really hard to see him stripped of all his favorite possessions, his watch, glasses and the change in his pocket (which he was always giving out to the kids.) It was hard seeing such a physically active man reduced to being bed ridden for the last six years, but most of all it was hard to see him suffer needlessly for the last 6 years.
He suffers no more. His spirit soars, and his memory is etched in the hearts of those he touched and loved.
I give thanks to the Divine for Will having been my Father.

Will was my mentor in the grocery business. I started when I was 16 and he would pick me up on the way to work at Stan's Thriftway. He taught me everything I know about the grocery business. I have used his knowledge my entire working life. I also worked with Will in the distribution business and missed him when he retired. I will always be thankful to have known him and will always remember him.##imported-begin##Ken Walton##imported-end##
