RIP Will

[Britton Grant]

I met Will a long time ago at Erieau just outside Chatham on Lake Erie.  He was there to fish with Bob Izumi and his brother Wayne. They were born in Blenheim. He was a nice guy/ Very friendly!

This is a very sad and great lose to the Simcoe fishery. Wil did so much for it.

He was the kind of guy that would talk to anyone. It was like you were long time friends ,even if you never met him before.

 

RIP Wil

In early 2000s I was working on a Fishing Ontario Tourism publication with John Kerr and we exchanged many emails for his input. My cousin was his assistant at the Aurora Ministry office. Very pleasant man to deal with.

A quiet icon in ways but well heard.  RIP, he WILL be missed!

I never met the man, but read lots of articles over the years about all the good things he did for the fisheries. Does anyone know what happened? i had heard he was in good health up until his passing, or at least appeared to be?

I looked up his obituary and it looks like he is to be buried in Bradford. Ont. Donations are to Cancer Society so that must be what happened.
