Meet Dean Williams, the 60-year-old, retired grandpa behind Witty, the West Shore Rebels football mascot
When Dean Williams attended his friend's Brad Witts funeral on Dec. 18, 2022, he left wanting to find a unique way to honour him.
"Brad was from the West Shore. He was just an exceptional football player," said Williams. "In 1983, we won the B.C.s for the second year, and he was the MVP for all of B.C." "It was a 10-minute video. And he did it while he was dying," Williams said."He had us laughing and crying in the first 10 minutes of the service.""His brother gave him a kidney," said Williams."He was doing really well. And then, just before COVID-19, his dormant kidney caught cancer."
"Roger said, 'Well, you, Dean, that costume is great, but I think you are probably going to scare some kids," Williams said.
