My heart goes out to Will’s family. He was such an inspiration to so many in our Oxford family. He will be deeply missed.
You were so loved. Wish I could have gotten to know better. đź’”
You were so loved. Wish I could have gotten to know better.
I worked with Will at the Mayo Clinic and am so sorry for his loss, He was a good guy with a sense of humor , he is missed.
Will, i will always cherish the time working with you, singing, joking, and talking about science fiction. You are a great soul. Wishing you peace and freedom.
I did not know Corey personally. I never had the pleasure of meeting him. I am a good friend of his cousin, James Call who had confided in me about Corey’s passing. James had told me that He & Corey were very close. My sincere condolences go out to my dear friend James, Corey’s extended family & all who knew him intimately. May God Bless His Soul & May He Rest in Peace.
I am in shock to find this out. I worked with William for many years at Mayo Clinic . He was one of my retail supervisors. I am praying for the family during this transition. May God give you strength during this time, and comfort you all heart.
