This note and the pictures below were received from Will's wife, Mary on July 28, 2005.   We thank Mary for sharing her thoughts with us.   Many members at the 2005 Seawind Splash-In commented on what a wonderful couple Will and Mary were and how much Will is missed.

Hello to All,

My thanks to the Seawind Community for your concern and support. Will and I had a wonderful life together and I am so thankful for the time we shared building N7117. It was lots of work, great fun, and she was beautiful!

Our loss is great, but I am so proud of the man Will was, the life he lived, all of the things he accomplished, and of his ability to bring the plane down without injury to anyone else. What is so sad is that we did the hard part right and it was something so simple that brought the dream
to an end.

Will loved flying and everything that came with it. He was a skilled and careful pilot and would be the first to say to the flying community, "I'm so sorry."

Please be careful. Don't take anything for granted. Help each other and fly safe.

Sincerely,
Mary Frost
