Nancy and I were saddened to hear of the passing of a very special Uncle. I say special because I spent many enjoyable summers on grandfathers farm with "W",
West and Helen during my young summer years. Thanks also to three devoted cousins who insured their later years were as comfortable and "cared for" as possible. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Mel & Nancy Creasey

I wish to offer my sincere condolences. Wilton was a wonderful person and a very Godly man. I am sure the Nicopolis community has missed his presence while he was at his other home. May God watch over each of you during this difficult time.
