Sadly, we somehow missed seeing Will's obituary, and I just learned of his passing yesterday while visiting with a neighbor in Crystal Cove. I truly hope this message is passed on to their daughter, Marsha. We were next door neighbors to Will and Mil for as long as they resided here. We thought the world of them, and so enjoyed their friendship. We even once visited with them when they were vacationing in Clarksville, TN, and we were visiting friends in Knoxville, TN. They indeed were soul mates, and loved each other like few people experience. It didn't matter that they were so different, they LOVED EACH OTHER......after Mildred passed and then Will had moved to Cypress Cove Pointe, Jack and I had the good fortune to find him sitting in the main hall meeting and greeting visitors when Jack and I came to visit another friend. They were such good friends to us, and we'll always remember them with fondness. Sincerely, Jack and Judy DeLancy,

From the day, I met Mr. Needleman almost 10 years ago I knew that he was quite a character. He fiercely loved his wife Mildred, and he was looking for someone to help care for her while on her journey with Alzheimer’s.💜 I think he knew pretty early on that I would treat Mildred as if she were a family member of mine. So the journey began. Everyone that knew him knows that he was very intelligent, had a quick wit, and a feisty personality at times. There’s no doubt I grew an attachment to him and the whole Needleman family. I was concerned that he was not going to go on when he lost Mildred a second time, but he fought on like he did most of his life! Somehow I was able to get him to share parts of his life that he didn’t really want to talk about. I respected his service in the military, and I begged him to go on an Honor Flight. He fought Marsha and I at first, but he eventually gave in and went. :flag-us:I think he was really glad he did. I’m sure he was deep down proud of his service to our country,his family, and his successful career as a pharmacist, and a hypnotist. He really loved his family and the town of Fort Myers and he often told me stories. He had a nickname for me. He called me walkie-talkie and he told me one day years ago that I was an honorary member of his family. He will be missed by all of us, but I hope and pray he and Mildred are dancing in the heavens! 💞🙌🙏🏻 🕊️️Sincerely, Colleen Pappas
