The following note is from John Daniel Lammon, William Patrick's brother:
"Elmer,
Here is the Info on my brother Willie that you had requested:
My brother's full name was William Patrick Lammon. He was known formally as "Will" on school rosters and such, but everyone always called him Willie. He was born on Jan. 22, 1960 in Miami Springs, Fla. He graduated from high school in 1978 from Jackson Academy in Jackson, Ala. He later completed undergraduate course work at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa and Patrick Henry Junior College in Monroeville. Willie eventually received his certificate as a physical therapy assistant from UAB in 1986. After graduation he worked for a year at Rotary Rehabilitation in Mobile from 1986-1987. He died Feb. 6, 1987 from cardiac arrest secondary to a grand mal seizure. He had been stricken with epilepsy when a teenager as a result of a head injury during a basketball game. After being diagnosed with epilepsy he suffered greatly from the numerous seizures and the lifestyle changes it required. His numerous medications would always leave him feeling tired and in a drugged-out state. The epilepsy also hampered his activity and he was never able to obtain a driver's license until the very end of his life when he had been seizure-free for a year. Still, he took it all in stride and usually kept his since of humor about the whole ordeal. He was well liked, had numerous friends, and was known for his dry wit."
