Wil worked at General Electric Medical Systems in Illinois, New Jersey and Wisconsin for 43 years. During his time with GE he made many lifelong friends. After retiring, as promised to his wife, they moved to Henderson, NV. Prior to retirement Wil was a member of the Oconomowoc Toast Masters. He and Lori also enjoyed many years in couples bowling leagues. Post retirement he began acting in Las Vegas, which was a dream none of us knew about. He became a member of SAG-AFTRA and was cast in plays, movies, commercials and print advertisement. More than anything he enjoyed his time with family and friends that would come to visit them wherever they maybe. If you knew Wil, Willie, Sergio, then you would know he would say "I did it my way".
