Uncle Wilson was a good uncle to me. He was the one to teach me to drive when growing up because no one else had the patience. He will be greatly missed. We have all grown apart as the years passed but that doesn"t mean we don't still love and care. My condolence to Aunt Mig, and all the Sifford Family.
