I was sadden to learn of Wilkie's death. We went to Darlington School together and I spent time with him in Anniston. He came to Charlotte (I think) for his first job. And, if you ever needed to know a score of an Alabama game, Wilkie could reach back and tell you. Was one heck of a guy with numbers and a great person to be around. I will miss him.

Wilkie was a special person, always energetic, enthusiastic, and thoughtful. He was a great friend, excellent business professional, and a caring person who gave far more than he ever expected to receive. The world is better because of him. He will be greatly missed. Jay McDonald

I am so sorry to hear about Wilkie. I remember him so fondly. In the third grade he used to come to my house to play jack stones. I also remember he paid me 5 cents to wink at him at a certain point in our third grade play. That story came to my mind for the first time in years. Just know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Fondly, Betty Scott Noble

I am sorry of your loss. I only had the opportunity to interact with Wilkie a few times but I always felt like I learned something new with each interaction. My prayers are with the Colyer family.

Although I haven't seen Wilkie since I was a child in Anniston (he was a friend of my oldest sister), but I will always remember him as being a very kind and gentle person. Please accept my sincere condolences and sympathy.

Wilkie was a great friend to me.
Quality is more important than quantity, and the quality of Wilkie's life was amazing. May he rest in peace.
