Peace be with you, Mr .Wilcox! As one of the 12 little Camp Fire Girls that Mrs. W. nourished and delighted, you, too, were an integral part of the fun. You led us in rousing renditions of 'John Jacob Jingle Heimer Schmidt'; you called me 'Hoolie'; you threw me a l-o-o-o-n-g football pass that I caught on the run, and you celebrated the feat with me. You were jolly and kind to us, and it was clear that you and Mrs. W. had a "thing goin' on" -- the love and joy was easy to see. So many memories of love and laughter came from your sweet family. Thank you for your big heart. I have carried my appreciation for you all these years, and I intend to keep your light with me. Sending much love to Mrs. W., Patti, John, Jim, and Jeff -- You're in my heart.

Dear Helen and family, My deepest condolence on your great loss. I remember fondly having dinner with John at the Pacific Zone conferences in Menlo Park around 1966 and 1967. Also remember our Zone Contoller conferences with Ned Whitmore, when John was Midwest Zone Controller, and I was the Eastern Zone rep. As we like to say, "those were the days". My thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time. Dan Kummer

Dear Helen, Patti, John, Jim and Jeff,
My thoughts and prayers to you during this most challenging time.
It has been nearly 50 years ago that we were first introduced at Feehanville School. Patti, I still recall you happily bringing your baby brother to second grade show and tell. Through the years, your family has always held a special place in my heart.
May the Lord continue to bless your wonderful family.

Dear Helen, Patti, John, Jim and Jeff~
We have fond memories of the Wilcox Family of Juniper Lane and Mt Prospect Football days. John brought out the best in the kids' lives that he and Helen touched along the journey. Our hearts are both saddened at his passing and rejoicing in his life, well lived. Blessings and love,
