My family and the Snell family were friendly since the mid 1930’s.  Willard and I often participated in many activities during our pre-high school years and intermittently thereafter. He had everything going for him: personality, athleticism, horsemanship, and a great pleasure to be with. On behalf of my family, please accept our regrets.  I think of him often. 

Will and I go back a long way as well at Hahn Airbase and Landstuhl in 1957 - 1960. In addition to the flying  the Hun, we had a lot of fun times together. 
Rest in peace, Will. Thanks for being a long time friend.




Will and I worked as volunteers at the Sacred Heart Hospital ER for several years.  Will was my friend  and his smile brought peace to many of the patients and their families. 
Since both of us are pilots, we enjoyed talking about our wars, mine Korea and his Vietnam ,
 And  our flying  stories during  the slow times at the ER. 
Rest In Peace (Thud Driver.)
 

Will and I go way back as lieutenants flying the F-100C together at Hahn in 58.  He will always remain one of the finest gentleman I’ve had the pleasure of knowing, a true hero.  Rest In Peace old friend.

Will was my father in law. The last time we were together he told me how proud he was of his children, and how much he missed Jane. He was a kind and non judgmental man. A warrior by nature he spoke only when he had something important to say. 

 “Say hello to Jane for me, Will. “

Love and light.

Will is my brother in law.  I am Jane’s sister.  I have many wonderful memories of Will and Jane through the years.  He was always kind, always  a gentleman who loved our country and his fellow warriors.  He was a prince of a fellow among the men I have known.  He loved his children and He loved Jane’s children.  He was a great  man and a good man.  My deepest love and sympathy to all his friends and family.  God Bless America and God Bless us all forever and ever.  Amen
