Wilbur was one of the first people I got to know as a professional photographer and member of the Lisle Ramsey group. Thank you for being a true friend who always had an encouraging word. It was a pleasure photographing you as Abraham Lincoln. You made me feel like I had gone back in time and met the man. You were always one of the classiest people I ever met and a joy to be around. I always think of you when I order Mexican food and how you knew Spanish and would order that way. You will be missed my friend.

We have many happy family memories from Wilbur Tague's studio, especially those with bunnies and chicks and goats. He was an artist, had a vision, loved kids, and creating family memories. He used his talents humbly, and we are thankful for his presence in our lives.

I have some photos of Wilbur and I when I did a "talk show" at a women's retreat. He was an angel looking at me. I hope he will continue to do so. Great man. - Sandi Harlos

Becky, Aaron and Clista words cannot express how sorry we are to hear of Wilbur's passing. He will always hold a special place in our hearts for so many reasons. His legacy will not only live on in the many pictures he took for our family but in the life and service he gave to Connection Pointe Christian Church, the town of Brownsburg and the many people he touched through his portrayal of Abraham Lincoln. I cannot begin to understand your grief. But just want to let you know our thoughts and prayers are with you now and the weeks to come. Ole' Abe and Wilbur are definitely sharing a story or two in heaven. I can picture it now. Love, Mike and Tammy Western
