Bill Wilkins

You will always live in my heart Bill. We might of been a short time together but you left a lasting impression of strength, intelligence & bravery! I will forever hold you in my heart! Missing you! Giget C

I glad I had the chance to care for Mr. Wilkins! He was a positive, and cheerful person! Always looked at the good in people! He made me laugh with little comments you didn't expect from him but caught you off guard! I admire him & and his wife Mrs. Caroline because of all they did in their lives! He may have tried being hard on the outside but he was such a softy inside! I grew fond of Mr. Wilkins in our short time & I think he grew fond of me as our time came to an end. I know he loved his...

There's no way I will ever forget the life-shaping opportunity Bill (and Caroline) so personally helped to give to me in the spring of 1968, when at the age of just 15 I stood but a few steps behind Bill (who was holding in his arms his son Brian) and Robert F. Kennedy, on the steps of the Benton County Courthouse as "Bobby" spoke, and his personal body guard, Bill Barry, sat directly below us on the courthouse lawn, tired head in hands---a scene Tom Warren (the longtime Gazette Times...

Thank you for the sad news of Bill's passing. I know that I speak for so many of his OSU colleagues, fellow pilots, and fighters for democracy when I say that Americans of his intellectual stature and concern for others will be sorely missed. My friendship with Bill extended far beyond our relationship on campus, as our shared love of flying and concerns for American liberal values strengthened our bond. Bill Wilkins was an outstanding father, leader and champion of our way of...

My sympathy to Bill's loved ones, and many happy memories. Peace of God be with them.

Bill was a towering presence at OSU, both physically and in spirit. What a delightful colleague! He was kind, thoughtful, and fun to work with especially at TRIAD to which he contributed so much. May Bill's memory be a blessing. With my condolences to Caroline and the family - Irma Delson Canan

Dear Caroline, We are sad to hear of Bill's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this most difficult time. With our love and deepest sympathy, Jan and Rob Thurston

Caroline, we send our condolences to Brian and you. We know that it is hard to lose someone who is so close and dear to you. Bill contributed so much to OSU through his leadership, ideas, and friendships. Peace to you, Bill and Ann

My thoughts and prayers are with the family who lost a good kind man. He shared his love of reading with me while I was a Librarian at the nearby public library. When I first met this fellow reader who generously supported others´ opinions and ideas, I recognized a gift to our world. I did not know very much about his life but I´m not surprised to learn the everlasting impact of his actions. My life has been blessed because I had the honor to meet you. Thank you Mr. Wilkins
