In 1954 Will married Mary Carroll and they have four children. Carol, the oldest, is a guidance counsellor in Saskatoon and married to Glen Kovatch . David lives in Charlottetown and is employed with the family firm, as is Daniel who is married to Susan Lank . They have three children. Jane, the third child, is a student at Holland College and lives in Charlottetown . Will says the most significant event in his life has been and continues to be his marriage to Mary. Two changes in the Charlottetown and P.E.I , landscape occurred in the 1960's and 1970's. These were the merger of Prince of Wales College and University as well as the Charlottetown Hospital and the Prince Edward Island Hospital. Will was involved with both, sitting on the boards of Prince of Wales College and U.P.E.I. from 1964 - 1994 and the Charlottetown Hospital and Queen Elizabeth Hospital from 1968 - 1992. He recalls the experience as very challenging but equally rewarding. Will was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from U.P.E.I. in 1995. Along with the good times, he will always remember the importance of sharing that was instilled in him at University.
