RIP Pat Williams. Thank you for brining us this team to Orlando. Your positivity in life will be missed.

Pat is the biggest reason why Orlando has a major sports team. His zeal to bring a team here willed it into existence, not to mention his unmatched lottery luck brought us from nonexistence to relevance and the NBA Finals each decade for the first two decades. He was a good man and no one has anything but positive things to say about him which is all you have to know. 

RIP Pat Williams.

Big or small, he deserves a statue in the Magic O'rena.  He was a very good person and awesome sportsman.

Hopefully one day we can get a MLB team an name the stadium, Williams Park !!!
