Karen, Kim,and Kevin - It was an honor to live across the street from your Dad (& Mom) for 18 years! We loved chatting with Phil and Carla and I enjoyed ribbing your Dad about his 'independent spirit' his last few years on Peach St. He was so proud of all you and I'm lucky to have known him. God Bless, Rick & Rhonda Gately

I am so sorry for your loss. Karen, you are probably the only one of the children who would remember me. Jane Cherven - we lived across the street from you on Morningside Drive. You were so lucky to have your father for all these years. I have very fond memories of your parents. My prayers go out to you and your family.

A true gentleman, I met Mr. Wild while serving on various town boards. Always soft spoken and genuine. May he rest in peace.
