Wilmer M. “Red” Soistman

We're so sorry for the loss. Worked at NMSBVI when Red worked there and he was always so nice and pleasant to talk to. After his retirement I would see him in town and he would always reach out and talk with me. It was always a pleasure to talk with him. He was so proud of his family. Sincerely, Helen & Harry MacNeill

To the Soistman family,
It is with deep sadness, that I write this note. I was so happy to see him at the El Paso VA, a few months ago. I was able to say hi, and shake hands with him. I will miss seeing him from time to time! May God be with your family during this very sad time in your lives. Para siempre - Miyagi

I am so sorry for the loss of your father, Mr. Soistman. I did not know him but you were such an inspiration to me as my Geometry teacher. My name was Donna Smith. It was in 87-88. The semester Tom Burns was your student teacher. Again , I am so sorry and send positive and healing thoughts to you and your family.

My friend had a very tiny car, maybe a Pinto wagon or something similar. We squeezed Uncle Will (and I think...

I met Red a long time ago in the little town of Brazoria, Texas and found out that him and Al Kaline were friends. Being from Michigan and a Tiger fan I was facinated with his stories. Our hearts and prayers go out to the Soistman family for there loss.
Love Vikki and Jim Clingaman

I played volleyball and golf with Red on several occasions back when. Great guy, who gave lot's to so many. God bless the Soistman family on their loss. RIP Red

Praying God gives you strength for each day.
Love You!
