My prayers are with you, Chanie. I´m so sorry for your loss.

We met Marc when he was our rabbi in Charlotte. We remember him as a brilliant rabbi and scholar, a deeply committed social justice warrior, a devoted family man, and a good friend. No one could match his energy for all his endeavors. We extend our sympathy to Linda and all Marc's children and grandchildren. With love, Jessica and Allen Saxe

Rabbi Wilson was Mr. Wilson when we first met. He was a teacher who made Jewish learning fun. I cherish those years and am still honored that my bat mitzvah was the first simcha he officiated at. May his memory be a blessing for all who knew him. My to the family. BDE

I love you Rebbe. You were the greatest teacher I ever knew. May your memory be for a blessing!!

Rabbi Wilson did a benediction after our wedding which stays with us today. He was a very wise Rabbi, a great person and simply a joy to be around. Wishing our sincerest condolences to the Wilson family and many friends. He will be very much missed. Love, Jesse, Laura & Miriam Schneider
