Not sure what to say?

I learned of George's passing today. I am deeply saddened as George was very close to my mother, Virginia (Virg'n - as George called her) Worden Peterson, his cousin. I have some really neat photos of he and my mom in 1992, plus he with me and my children posted to FB today when I had the great pleasure of finally meeting him and many others of my mom's family, back-east.
Our thoughts, prayers, and deepest sympathies to his family!!!!

So sorry I didn't learn of George's passing until now. I knew George from the Charlton Comics days, and I still have an autographed Popeye cover! He was a terrific guy.

It was a real privilege to know George -- a real gentle man and a gentleman. Always nice to see his family! My condolences to them.

Very sorry to learn of Mr. Wildman's passing. A wonderful man and a wonderful family. My condolences.

Sending our thoughts and prayers to the Wildman family during this difficult time.

Another great from the field of comics has left us. My sympathy to Karl and the rest of his family and friends. Thanks for all the great Charlton work you did, you will live on with this legacy of memorable art and stories that gave me and many others years of enjoyment.

Dear Karl, Joy and family-we are so sorry to hear about your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

My wife is a nurse at Atria. Mr. Wildman was nice enough to draw Popeye pictures for my grandchildren. I went to Atria one day to thank him and we talked for close to an hour. He was an impressive man. It was a privilege to meet him.
