WILMINGTON, Del. — U.S. Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.) released the following statement on the passing of Will Minster:

“It is with great sadness that I learned of the passing of Will Minster. A pillar of Wilmington and a champion for every entrepreneurial endeavor, Will was one-of-a-kind. He loved this city and believed in everyone in it. He saw downtown for what it could be, long before it became the success story it is today. The roots of his family here are deep, stretching back generations, and I had the chance to meet his mother Marilyn at her Newark jewelry store location, a family-owned landmark for 123 years. They were part of a wonderful family of small-business-minded people who saw how hard work could lift up their community.

“Annie and I send our deepest condolences to his family.”
