Not sure what to say?

First, I’m very sorry for your loss. I knew Mr. Wilhelm for a short time only. He amazed me and I decided to research his life and accomplishments for an article to be published about him in the Colorado Encyclopedia. For those who might be interested, here’s a link to that article: https://coloradoencyclopedia.org/article/david-wilhelm

He was truly an amazing man!

I am sorry to hear off Davids passing My. Condolences to your family

David was one of the kindest, wisest men I ever met. Meeting him in 2007 and getting to know and be around him from time to time for several years is one of the most memorable of times I have. He was a wonderful man and one of the truly great WW II heroes.
Jean, David Jr. and family, I am very sorry for your loss.

Im so sorry to hear of your fathers passing. I knew him because my father lives at Heritage and is also a WWII vet. My Dad was so impressed by your fathers wartime experiences and enjoyed reading your Dads book. Although I didnt know your dad well, he was always so nice and friendly when I saw him. I will miss seeing him. On behalf of my father, Cliff Cressy, and our family, we express our condolences and our gratitude for his service and a life well lived!

My sincere sympathy is with all of you in your loss. It was such a pleasure for me to have known David for many years. He was a gentleman and a kind person and I personally will miss our talks. May God Bless you and keep you in his care.

Please accept my sincere condolences dear family and friends. May prayers strengthen you and memories comfort you. And may you find hope and comfort in God our Father, who loves us, comfort your hearts and "make you firm". (2 Thessalonians 2:16, 17).

To David Wilhelm, Jr.: you have my sympathy. Your father was a great man and I appreciated working for him.
