dear judy and charlotte and family: while it was so very good to see you and enjoy your comments about growing up in Orwell, it was not good to hear of Wilbur's suffering. My sympathy to you and yours and all who he loved and who loved him in this life and the next. I cut myself out of the pictures we took and have some fine ones of you.

Whenever I saw Wilur he was connecting with family, coming from or going to sporting events with his grandkids; you could tell that he loved his family very much. He almost glowed with happiness in their company. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. May Wilbur rest in peace (although I suspect he would prefer Home Plate seats at Fenway)and his family live on with the memories of his life so well lived.

I was just reading all of the wonderful messages to Kerry, Butch and our family; it is difficult to know that so many people will miss Wilbur as much as we do.I want to say that we are sorry for your loss as well. If we can all be more light-hearted in our meeting with a new face and give them "one of Wil's Smiles" we will doing what Wilbur would have done. I have learned that it is not the situation that will take you down, rather it is the way you handle the situation that will make a difference in your life. Make that difference! Don;t spend time today watering last years' crop! Go forward and make a difference as Wilbur did! LOve and thanks to all who have supported Wilbur and his loved ones..Judy (sister) Buthie and Kerry, I love you!

Wilbur, I can't even count how many laughs we had together. I'm never going to forget the best though, calling CJ at 3 a.m. You always were looking for great laughs, fun, and a practical joke if we could pull one off. Going to miss you my friend.
