There are actions that create great moments, but greatness is measured by much more than a moment.

 

Will is great. He is kind, compassionate, thoughtful, talented, loving, helpful and passionate. His kindness has imprinted in our hearts and will never be forgotten.

 

He has left us with a new discovery that his greatness was beyond measure and that greatness will leave a legacy.

 

That legacy will live on in a foundation, the LLWW Foundation. Annually, the foundation will honor Will by giving two scholarships, one for athletics and one for character.
