Dear Jean and Family:

When I served as Counsel to the Chairman and as Legislative Director of the PA Public Utility Commission, Aaron became a special friend to my husband Bill and me. He had dinner at our home many times and was always a fun guest to have around. When I worked with Aaron while he was a member of the Commission, he was always someone I could go to for sound advice and support on anything I was doing. He was a wonderful man in all ways and a great gentleman.

We will miss him so much and all our prayers are with you now. I just lost my father this past May, but the remembering of all we had with our loved one sustains us in times like this.

Love - Rosemary and Bill

Dr. Aaron Wilson was a friend, mentor, fraternity brother and Cheyney University alumni who influenced everyone he met. I am certain that he and his good friend Floyd Ferguson are playing golf and reminiscing.



Dr. S. Jean Wilson, you are in my prayers and thoughts, and will always have my heartfelt support.

My son Nate played ball on Doc's AAU for the last 2 years. He will be missed by Nate and our family. We just did the Las Vegas trip with him. I loved hearing his stories, but I also loved his passion for helping the young men on his team, achieve their dreams. I am sorry for your loss.



Sincerely,



Bruce, Phyllis and Nate Shewell
