Will was first and foremost a family man, he lived for his family, family always came first. He always said as long as I have my family around me, I don’t need anything else. He loved being a Pop Pop and took that role seriously and with a lot of love. He was active with the Boy Scouts and served as a leader for many years. He volunteered and helped out whenever needed. Will enjoyed trains of all kinds, whether riding on them or adding them to his extensive LGB collection. He loved the outdoors, the beach and nature. Will owned and enjoyed boats the majority of his life whether fishing or just cruising around. He liked watching Westerns and British humor shows. He never missed an Eagles game. Will loved everything about Christmas, decorating and being with family. He enjoyed walking the Ocean City boardwalk often with the love of his life, Barbara.
