Harry T. WILKS

It has been six years since my last visit with Harry while attending our sixty fifth class reunion. Harry was a neighbor,classmate and friend. Harry-We all miss you. Jim Brown

My deepest sympathies. A great man is gone, but he will never be forgotten. Amazing, what he was able to accomplish and yet stay so humble and down to earth. Always willing to teach and inspire. He will be sorely missed.

I knew Harry from the time I was able to cross Main Street by myself. Harry was Harry. Harry was special !

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I was blessed by the wonderful talks we had together.

I met Mr. Wilks some years ago when I took my grandkids for a picnic at Pyramid Hill, my grandson was playing with his Frisbee and Mr. Wilks came over and started to play with him also. After he left, I told my grandson who he was, he was so happy to meet and to know that was the man who was in charge of making such a beautiful park for us to enjoy. I have taken my grandkids there so many times, we all have fond memories of that wonderful day when Mr. Wilks came over to just play and chat...

Harry always had Hamilton first in his thoughts. Enjoyed working with him and counting him as a friend .

Bill, sorry for your loss. Harry will be remembered for his many gifts to Hamilton and Miami University. I remember some interesting meetings on the purchase of the High Street block with Harry.

I can't imagine going to Pyramid Hill and not finding Harry in the office or on his golf cart--always smiling and ready to tell a story or two:) He was a true visionary and made the world a better place. I will miss him.

To the Wilks family, I pray you find comfort in this difficult time. Harry was kind to my family in many ways over the years. May he Rest in Peace.
