Not sure what to say?

Wilbur as a regular customer of mine at Genii's and his visits always brightened my day, I will alays remember his cheerfull attitude, he made a differance where ever he went.

The Bomarito family was sorry to hear of Bill's passing. I last saw him when the Iosco County Museum was dedicated. My daughter, Carey Sperl, did the curating and cataloguing for several months in 2008. Bill often stopped by to see how it was going and how Carey was liking Tawas.

Dear Roach Family ,
I was so fortunate to have know and had the friendship of Wilbur and Sophie and then Millie. He was not only the best landlord and just a figure that if I did not have a dad would have consider as a father he had great advice and had a gentle way of telling you when you were screwing up . I will miss him so much . sue anderson.

Dear Mary and Family,
What can I say. I cried. To say he will be missed is such an understatement. Each of you children, grandchildren and all those kids that Sophie and Wilbur considered part of their lives are so amazingly blessed. Sophie and Wilbur were truly persons of great honor and valued of the Lord. They have gently made a place in the hearts of many not only in the Tawas' but around the world. My family was blessed to have known them both. Fly Free!
Love and Prayers...
