Frank just sent an email on what a few of us were starting to suspect. Will as noted in the obituary passed on 22 October 2021. Rest In Peace Shipmate it was a true pleasure to know you and “travel” along with you in our quest to know as much about PT Boats and the men who took them into combat.

Very, very sad news, I was hoping it wasn't what I had expected.
He was a true gentleman and will be missed.
Will, was one of the senior members of this board and started here early-on back in the the mid 1990's. He was always an asset to this forum with a great sense of humor. Rest in Peace Will.

When I saw Al's messages go unanswered, I was afraid of this. Hard to see someone who was with us for so long pass. Best wishes to his family and friends.

Hello everyone. This is Michael, Will's grandson.

I just wanted to thank you all for your thoughts and comments. Some comments left on the memorial page were read out during the funeral, and the whole family was very thankful for, and moved by all the kind things people from this forum had to say.

My grandfather will be deeply missed, but it is at least of some comfort to see all the ways in which he touched others lives, big and small. Thank you.

Michael, Thank you for posting this message.

Your Grandfather was a "Senior Member", but more importantly a "Favorite Son" on this ole board and a good friend on the internet, and will be missed dearly. He was always, kind, thoughtful, cheery, and at times outstanding with his great "Got-Ya" comebacks. He was well versed on PT boats, and always shared his thought with other members and other visitors reading posts on the forum. Just our simple emails back and forth will be very missed by me.

This board wishes Will smooth sailing and calm seas, and the very best to you and the rest of his family.

Dick Washichek
