Coverage from Will Koch's funeral

[Shaggy]

Below are some links to various news clips/stories/videos from today's funeral for Will Koch, former President and Owner of Holiday World.

In the first clip, some of you Paramount Park fans may recognize one of the interviewees. David Mandt, former head of Marketing for Paramount Parks, and now head of Marketing for IAAPA, was in attendance.

It's still so horrifically sad to know of his loss, but so greatly heartwarming to see that the services were uplifting and joyful. After all, creating joy was what Will was all about.

Rest in peace Will... but make sure to build the ultimate coaster for me to ride when I get there.

For me, it doesn't even seem real. I just don't want to believe it.

I have not commented on here yet regarding Will's death. There is not much else to say that has not already been said, but for someone who I had only talked to in passing and only knew through his park, Will's death really shook me. I have been down every since I heard of his passing. It is hard to believe that someone so young that has done so much for others is now gone. I mourn his loss like he was a close friend. I really admired Will Koch for not only all he accomplished, but for the man he was. Hopefully we can all learn to be a little like him. Rest in Peace Will.

I mourn his loss like he was a close friend.

I feel the same way. I only meet him once, but after that he seemed like a close friend, for you could tell he cared for people. I think he touched everyone in that way.
