To the family of Wilbur, I never met him in person, but he was a regular on the Michigan D X Association 2 meter net. he was the most likable person I have ever spoken to. I wish I had known him better. Wilbur will be missed by all that knew him. He is with his Lord now. and I know he is watching over us. good by my friend David M. Smith

I have known Wilbur since the early to mid 70's. He kept an eye on us from a distance. Every time I spoke with him on the radion he seemed to know what we have been up to. He was a very nice guy and we are going to miss him greatly. First time I met him he was operating CW on Field Day at the camp south of town and he was very perficient at that as well. His Family is in our prayers.
