Garfield Wilson

Still miss you Garfield and Janie Pie. Heaven is so lucky to have you both. Keep them educated and Janie Pie making those poundcakes and tea biscuits. Love you both.

We speak your name fondly often, Garfield. We still miss you, the fishing, the golfing, the grilled meat, but most of all laughing with you. We know you are keeping them straight in heaven and with Janie pie...you two will always be loved and remembered.

We will miss Garfield a lot. Golfing on Friday afternoons was so much more interesting listening to Garfield's stories. Frances will miss seeing him pass by each morning and sometimes stopping in for a drink. A very gentle, sweet man, and wonderful human being.

I am so sorry for your loss and pray that God comforts you and your families. I know this is a difficult time. Please convey my condolences to the entire family.

Dear Family,
I am still coming to terms with the huge loss that Garfield's passing will create in all our lives. He and Jane have become such a grounding force in the lives of my family and although he is gone from this life, his thoughtful and loving influence will live on through the many lessons he taught me about being a better person. I'll never pick up another fishing pole, eat another fried oyster or hushpuppy, or reflect on the integrity found in educational equality without...

Jill & family,
You definitely had the honor of being the daughter and family of such a fine man, in addition to an educational leader. My dad died when he was 76 years old, so I feel your loss.
