The family of William J. McCoy has received the following condolences.

I want to send my sincerest condolences to the McCoy family. I didn't know Will all that well but in the time that I did know him, being good friends with Alissa, He was one of the kindest, heart felt, considerate, caring, and loving men I have ever met in my life. Not only did I have the opportunity to watch a couple Vikings games with him, I also had the opportunity to witness the true unconditional love he had for his family! He will be missed there is no doubt. May God watch over you Alissa and all of the McCoy family in this time of grieving.

God Bless
