I would like to thank the Wilson family for allowing me to share in the life of Bob Wilson. We worked together many years. I especially enjoyed all the Saturdays in all the years we had coffee together after his retirement . I will always remember the stories of his childhood, time on the railroad and stories about " the big mill ". God Bless you all
