Wilmer was one of the people you could never forget. It was a privilege to know know him, not only as a bus driver and neighbor but also as an example of what it means to be a good person. His influence went far beyond the big yellow bus.

Wilmer's bearing and conversation allowed me to have a deeper more profound understanding of life and my personal beliefs. As a brother soldier he remains to me a true and valiant Hero. Deepest and heart felt sympathy to his family.
