So sorry. Wilbert was an awesome conductor and I so enjoyed playing under him in the Symphony of Rutherfordton County. He was a brilliant soul and the world has lost a very special person. Prayers for his family and all who loved him.

I learned much about musical performance from this teacher. He was a bird - but a good one. Will, I'll play in your Eternal Band one day. Rest well till then, old friend. Then, it's on! :-)

My heart goes out to the family of Mr. Kimple. He was a wonderful person and made me love music playing in the band in high school. What an honor to have learned not only the art of music but also the art of living life to the fullest for him. God bless
