Dear Carol and family:
I begin when Wil, then age 12 and I age 10, became friends in Miami Shores. Until Wil graduated from Curley High School and left for College, we, Wil, myself and Charlie, spent much, if not most of our free time together. Time spent riding our bikes all over the Shores, water skiing in Biscayne bay, shooting out rifles in areas that are now populated and playing those mean games of lawn football or ping pong in Wil's garage.
That was then, 60 years, and over those years we would see one another, visiting each other and just staying "in touch". I do not know anyone who did not like or respect Wil. He epitomizes the word "gentleman", was honest, sincere and had a very quick wit.
My friend, and you are my friend, I do miss you but know that you are with God looking down on us and your family. Lastly I want to say that I know of no man so dedicated to his wife that Wil, caring for and loving her over her many trials. God Bless you all.
Andre (Rick) Fournier.
