Not sure what to say?

During the holiday season, I am overwhelmed at times to be shocked in remembrance of Fred Wilson. As a member of his chamber choir '74-'76 (no doubt the finest) I am so thankful to have been placed under his direction and been in the company of incredible talent surrounding, inspiring and encouraging. Those times of Mr. Wilson questioning my desire, constant annotations on my music, Hugo on my left and always on pitch. That pursuit of perfection was a cornerstone to my life foundation....

Remembered always. Often I want to reach out to share something and am sadly reminded of your physical absence. You are truly missed.

Not a day goes by without thinking of you. Thank you for all of my memories of growing up together. They bring smiles to my heart. You kept life interesting!

Remembering our brother/sister bond. Thank you for such wonderful memories of growing up together. I miss you, big brother, and will love you forever. Elaine

My best 'buddy' classmate! We worked together on audio/visual support for teachers. What a loss to us all!

I will always be grateful for the kindness shown to me by this remarkable man. I really wasn't very good when I transferred into Wall High School, but "Mr. Wilson" saw something in me that could be developed, and he started me on my musical course. So much of what I do now in music began under his guidance, especially in the areas of conducting, arranging, manuscript precision, and the relentless pursuit of quality. His love of all things G & S was infectious, and I will be forever...

How could 3 years have passed already. Seems like yesterday that we were playing duets in Mom and Dad's dining room. Thanks for nudging me to learn new things and be brave enough to perform. Love you, Brother

Remembering a remarkable man who filled our hears with music and changed our lives one note at a time...

A gracious and welcoming gatekeeper at HTC and a thoughtful scholar whose knowledge and interest in the worlds of performance was encyclopedic.
