I found Wilson to be a kind and gentle soul.He was an expert in his field and always willing to share his experiences and knowledge with others. I truly enjoyed talking sports with him and sharing stories about our families. I extend my thoughts and prayers to his family and friends during this time of loss. May God comfort and keep you always.
A great friend and colleague whom will be missed.

During the early years of the Garbage Project I was lucky enough to spend a great deal of time working and socializing with Wilson. He was a great friend and mentor. I remember many lunches at Georgie's, beer drinking contests at Gentle Ben's, softball games, and many hours working on sorting and coding garbage. He was kind and thoughtful and a wonderful person - my thoughts are with his family.

I was lucky to have been one of Wilson's students in the Garbology Project ( 1975 or 76). He had such a sense of humor and loved training us to be exacting researchers - in our white lab coats, rubber gloves and surgical masks - counting, weighing and recording every tissue, produce scrap and empty container! It was a pleasure to have spent that semester with him. My thoughts to you. Rebecca Carlton
