Our prayers are with your family. My husband and I were also members of Hafley's first 7th/8th grade class. Mr. Wickham had many kind words and words of wisdom.

I had the honor of working with Mr. Wickham when he covered the VP spot at PAtterson High a few years back. I would make a point to go into the office and chat about sports as often as I could. He was a great man; very intelligent and inspiring. He will truly be missed!

As a member of the 2nd graduating class of Neil Hafley, I had Mr. Wickham as my principal for three years. I was in "the office" a lot - not because I was a bad kid, but because I was so far ahead in all my classes, they needed to keep me occupied :) He was a very nice man and a great educator. My condolences to his family.

Dear Denise and Jenny:
My prayers are with you during this difficult time. I was shocked and grieved when I received the news of Joe's death. I have ironed many a shirt of Joe's and perhaps did a bit of mending. Jenny, I remember you as a little girl coming to help pick up Daddy's shirts. You always had to come in and say, "Hi!" I will continue to pray that God's comfort and strength will be evident to you.

Dear Denise,
The first time I met "Mr. Wickham" was when I was called to the Principal's office for my son, of course he was a pleasure and all full of smiles. The last time I saw "Joe", both of you were all full of smiles, as you had just moved into your new home with your new baby and I had just finished wallpapering. My thoughts are with you and your daughter in this time of great loss. He touched many lives.
