Thank you to the Lee Family for my childhood market - Red Cart. When Longs was built on that lot, my Mom would not shop there. Warmest Aloha,

Wilbur was a great guy! I worked my way through college at Red Cart Market for the last four years it was in Mill Valley. I had many interesting conversations with Wilbur and I respected him a lot. I will never forget him, the store and everyone there. I made many friends and had many good times there. We all worked hard and played hard too at Red Cart.
Hey Wilbur, where's the peeps?!

I met Wilbur at Red Cart Market in the 70's when I was a teenager and he was such a nice man then and had such a great grocery store. When he went on to start all the Pet Club's my family and I shopped there too and continue to do so.
Thank you Wilbur for being such a hard working, kind man. You will not be forgotten. RIP kind sir and your family will be in our thoughts.

Mr. Lee was such a kind and caring man with a wonderful sense of humor. I worked in Corte Madera and would see him and his wife and children. Many blessings to them.

Wilber was a really nice guy. I knew him at the Red Cart Market, and later on when he opened his first Pet Club store. I always enjoyed chatting with him, because he was so pleasant. I know that his employees enjoyed working for him, too, because you could tell that he was a fair man. I'm so sorry that he had all these health problems over the past several years. I really missed him when he stopped coming to the store. I know that everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him feels a deep loss. Rest in peace, Wilbur.
