Will Christianson 1990-2008
A memorial service was held today at the Moorestown Friends Meeting House for Will Christianson, a recent graduate of Moorestown High School.
Will’s interests in art and music drew him to openings and performances at Space 1026. His sharp wit and outgoing personality made him popular amongst members and his presence was always welcome. He was a friend to many of us and he will be missed.
