Wil lived his life to the fullest. He was a husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather (in every sense), friend giver, prankster, and SANTA.

Wil enjoyed playing golf, riding in the mud drags, doing charity work for lots of organizations with no need of public recognition, being a fan of the San Antonio Spurs, LSU Tigers and New Orleans Saints, going to Disney (Goofy was his favorite character, boiling crawfish, and most of all being SANTA.

He loved being with his family and friends. His face would light up when he was with his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

Wil never knew a stranger. He always welcomed everyone with the biggest smile and a high-five. He had the biggest, caring, sweetest, generous heart and a smile that would light up any room he was in. He will be missed by so many that had the pleasure of knowing him.
