I didn’t know walking into an apartment on Orange St in 1977 would change my life. I met Will the summer before I graduated from college, my first real job as an architect! Will was more than a boss, he was a teacher, an uncle, a big brother and always a friend.
Many nights Will would invite me to join him and Chris for dinner, he always said, I can’t pay you more, but join us. What a wonderful cook he was, I loved the company and the food was always wonderful! He taught me the difference between southern and northern Italian cooking, and of course I know northern is much better, just as Will taught me.
I learned much more than architecture, music of all types from Gregorian Chants to The Rolling Stones, how to draft plans with a dog on your lap, stories of the Village in the sixties and so much more!
One of my favorites was how to land a sea plane, we would take our lunch down to the promenade and as a seaplane landed, Will would animate step by step what the pilot was doing, funny and educational!
Will, thank you for being part of my life.
Chris, you should know, our last garage sale had a huge orthopedic department!
