Not sure what to say?

For some reason tonight, remembering my days at Temple I thought of Dr. Wisdom. You are alive as long as someone remembers you. I enjoyed his class very much.

Dr. Bill Wisdom was truly one of my very dearest, friendly, and invigorating grad philosophy teachers, and became a warm friend. I saw him again four years ago, after close to a half century. I too will miss seeing him, whenever I can revisit the area.

A wave recedes yet leaves behind, bright seashells in the sand
The sun goes down, but a gentle warmth still lingers on the land
Music dies away, yet echoes on in sweet refrains
For every one that passes, something beautiful remains.
Much love, peace and sympathy dear Fritzi. I have many fond memories of playing music with him. May he rest in peace. love, Clare

So many wonderful memories of Bill-- a unique individual in so many ways-- his sharp intellect, his sense of humor. Goodbye to a great friend and band member. Our love to Fritzi.

I treasure the memories I gathered over the many years while knowing Bill. What a guy...

We will really miss our dear old pal Bill but we do know every time we play an old time tune that he'll be here in spirit. Condolences to dear Fritz as well. Will always remember our good times with the Wisdoms.

A fine person. Loved him both as a teacher and as someone to play music with.

I appreciated Bill's work as a founding member of PhACT and his at least ten years of his promoting science and reason in it.

Our love to Fritzi at this time of sorrow. Bill will be fondly remembered by his many friends and sadly missed. Love you, Fritzi.
