I had the opportunity to work with Wilford in the temple these last few months. He was always a joy to talk to and a spiritual giant. He will be missed.

I will miss Wilford much. He was such a good mentor to me as we studied flies and worked together starting in 1979. One of my fondest memories is collecting will him, especially at Topaz Mountain. I have tried to emulate him when working with my own students. Here is a much later photo, from 2000. I miss him even as I write. Riley Nelson

How sad I was to hear of Wilford's passing. I remember the many field trips on which he took my brother and myself. He was a good friend in my youth and he will be missed.
