    Will was a great friend and co-worker. When he came to Rochester my husband and I always enjoyed going out to dinner with him. He was a very caring person and a true gentleman. He will be sadly missed. Karel Shapiro

    To the Roberts Family, I was greatly saddened to hear of the passing of Will. Working remotely for Staples, he did get the chance to meet the rest of his team occasionally when he traveled to Rochester, NY. Before Will joined our team, I worked with him in a different capacity and he went above and beyond to help me. Not only was he very knowledgeable but very enthusiastically went about his work. He was always glad to help. I've thought of him occasionally since we both were laid off. May God bless him in heaven and comfort the rest of your family. Bonnie Weidert

    My Love and Prayers go out to all of Will’s Family and Friends. Will is going to be sadly missed. I worked with Will at Staples for 3 years and kept in touch after I left. I always enjoyed his many stories. He always made me giggle with his ba da bing ba da boom and many other saying, I still use today. I will always treasure my memories of Will. My Condolences and Love to you. I consider myself very blessed to have known him. He was a wonderful person.
