This web site is dedicated to Wil Quick, who was both a
close friend and the reason the WISH smoke-free dining guide
developed into what it is today.
H. W. "Wil" Quick
(August 12, 1924 - June 2, 1999)
The guide could not have reached the level of 1460 Wisconsin restaurants
without Wil's giving so freely of his time, sometimes volunteering up to 40 hours a week to
assimilate it. Also, as an ex-journalist, Wil put his skills to work on the
state's first 1/2 page newspaper ad featuring all
of the smoke-free restaurants in the state (at that time we had 75).
We will miss him terribly as an advocate, and I'll miss him terribly as a friend and
compatriot.
