Tributes

This sad news is just making it to us here in Atlanta. Will was a huge part of our lives growing up at Lake Okareka as both a friend and a coach. Thankful for all the great waterskiing and tournament memories growing up, and for all the countless hours he spent coaching and driving the boat for us as kids (often both at the same time!) A man with a great sense of humor and willingness to help at any time. Thank you Will, rest easy my friend.
