HERBERT I. WILENS

I love you grandpa
-Jo

To Pamela, Yes of course I remember you.
To Herb, I think of you each and everyday and it is hard for me to get used to the concept that you are gone. I unfortunately did not meet your kids like you met my youngest 2. In fact I never knew you were a professional boxer until you showed me your tapes. I just now wish we had not drifted apart for so long then I would have more memories to reflect on......
please keep resting in peace, Herb
Your friend as always, John Geoghegan

Someone else had your number. I also want you to know your advice was great. You retired from boxing and suggested I not turn professional. You said I had the best jab and great foot work, but a better mind. It was a good choice and good advice. I enjoyed sparring with you. And I became a white collar professional. I...

Yes it has been a year and Herbie you are still here in our hearts. I apologize for calling you Herbie but that is the name I knew you by many years ago, rest easy my friend the struggle of life is but a memory for you in your new existence. I think about you everytime I work out and all the fun we had working out in my parents garage in Potomac while helping ourselves to the beer machine afterwards, I am forever sorry to have missed your boxing career and your dedication, determination and...
