My deepest condolences to the Schilling family. Willie was a true inspiration to me as a leader, mentor, role model and ultimately friend. As a young boy out of college coming to Atlantic City Willie was always there for me to answer questions, provide guidance and support, teach me, and generally help me along the way. Later on sharing an office together I would enjoy the weekly soap opera of comical steakhouse restaurant stories of the evening as well as the ongoing feud with his counterpart who ran the Italian Restaurant on who served the most customers of that particular evening. Willie, while you will me missed here, you are in a better place now together with your wife and daughter. Rest in peace. When I'll leave work tonight I'll stop at your favorite place, The Hi Point, and have a drink in your memory and honor.
