Pastor Richard Wilder Sr.

We prayed together at his home every weekday morning, and then bible study at Denneys, for 17 years. He was my friend.

I googled pastor Rick today as a former classmate had mentioned him. So sad to hear of his passing in 2009. In the mid 1970's, he was active at San Francisco Christian High School. As so many others have said he was a great leader and an incredible man of faith. I was able to enjoy both of his personas. One as a pastor and one as a sort of big brother that coaches are able to become. It was nice being able to joke with him and confide in him. It's great to see that he touched so many lives...

Rick was my neighbor in high school days. We used to run and lift weights together in my dad's garage. What a neat guy! Always so upbeat and encouraging. It has been such a long time. I received CHRIST while living in Oregon. Wish I could have had time with rick.

Pastor Rick and Leslie had such an impact on my life. I was one of his students at Bayshore and while I was a difficult one their guidance is what helped me stay on the straight and narrow even after leaving their fold to continue doing the work that they started. We had our moments but had it not been for Pastor Rick opening that little school in Daly City I don't know where I would be right now. God bless and thank you to Pastor Rick and Leslie for your care and guidance over the years.

I miss Rick terribly but I'm so grateful to have known him. It's been many years since we've talked, and now more than ever do I regret how I did not keep in touch. So many blessings Ive received from God through Ricks faithfulness. I suppose the one negative experience is that I've yet to find a Pastor quite like him. In witnessing his faithfulness it made me faithful and hopeful. His daily showings of sincere happiness, peace, love, displays of a genuime smile day in and day out. Can you...

I am thinking of my dear brother and friend in Christ, Rick, and setting myself the compass of the Lord so I can stay steady and focused on the Him. These are days and hours that pass to serve our Saviour and to remember we are held by Him, for His good purpose. Someday we will sail home and meet our dear friend Rick again, and until then may God keep us all in His peace and held in His path for the gospel. Bless and steady all that read this, Lord, and keep them cared for in you till we all...

The fortress of the Word of God and its great foundation have guarded my walk because of Pastor Rick's fervant love and passion for Gods Holy book . He talked about Bible characters like they were the friends he hung out wth every day and his diligence to the Word of God and TRUTH changed everyone who knew him. He had the discernent to see your spirit and know the condition of your heart in Christ and knew how to draw you closer to God and help you build a foundation that would last. God...

So sad and happy to hear that he's with our Lord. I went one time with my family where he passtored and he was an amazing man
I'll be glad to hear from Rich Wilder Jr.

I am both sad and happy to hear of Pastor Wilder's passing. He was truly a good person. He taught and took care of me for years while I was in San Francisco. I have only fond memories of the Pastor Rick and his family.
