Karen, Kim,and Kevin - It was an honor to live across the street from your Dad (& Mom) for 18 years! We loved chatting with Phil and Carla and I enjoyed ribbing your Dad about his 'independent spirit' his last few years on Peach St. He was so proud of all you and I'm lucky to have known him. God Bless, Rick & Rhonda Gately

I am so sorry for your loss. Karen, you are probably the only one of the children who would remember me. Jane Cherven - we lived across the street from you on Morningside Drive. You were so lucky to have your father for all these years. I have very fond memories of your parents. My prayers go out to you and your family.

My family also went to the United Church of Christ and were friends with the Wild family. Mr. Wild was kind enough to get me accepted into a summer internship at Stone and Webster for two summers and even offered me a job. I went to grad school instead, however. But, I credit my experience at Stone and Webster with launching me into a nearly a 40 year career in engineering.

My deepest sympathies to the Wild family. I have long appreciated what he did for me...something that effected my life positively to this day.

A true gentleman, I met Mr. Wild while serving on various town boards. Always soft spoken and genuine. May he rest in peace.

My condolences to the family for your loss. May the God of all comfort "who binds up the brokenhearted and comfort those who mourn" sustain your family during this difficult time. Isaiah 61:1,2
