My beloved godfather,
You touched the world with class, laughter, loyalty and honor.
My mother, Savannah and I are beyond blessed to have had you as long as we did.
Your probably playing tennis with Daddy now (but don't smack him in the head with the ball again, you know how he is about his hair!)

God speed

Marlece, Shani & Savannah

Rest Wilbur, until you hear at dawn,
the low, clear reveille of God.

Thank you for your service to this nation.
