He once expressed his father’s fear of him using drugs, stating: “I felt my father would kill me. He’d get this look that said, ‘One more step, Will, and it’ll get ugly.'”
He added: “He was an independent businessman – he set up refrigeration in supermarkets – and he always provided for us. He’s a steady and positive figure in my life.”
We send our condolences to Will and his family.
