Will was born on January 23, 1950, in New Orleans, and resided in Luling LA. He was a graduate of Holy Cross High School. He served proudly in the United States Army during Vietnam.
Will had such a beautiful soul, and never failed to put others needs before his own. While his family was most important to him, he had a passion for his vegetable garden, fishing, and cooking. Anyone who was blessed and fortunate enough to have known him knew of his love and dedication to Saints football. Going to a game with him was always an amazing experience.
Even though he is physically gone, his kindness, laughter, dad joke sense of humor, selflessly giving of love and himself will live on in the memories of those that were blessed and fortunate enough to have him in their lives.
