Our prayers are with your family. My husband and I were also members of Hafley's first 7th/8th grade class. Mr. Wickham had many kind words and words of wisdom.

I had the honor of working with Mr. Wickham when he covered the VP spot at PAtterson High a few years back. I would make a point to go into the office and chat about sports as often as I could. He was a great man; very intelligent and inspiring. He will truly be missed!

As a member of the 2nd graduating class of Neil Hafley, I had Mr. Wickham as my principal for three years. I was in "the office" a lot - not because I was a bad kid, but because I was so far ahead in all my classes, they needed to keep me occupied :) He was a very nice man and a great educator. My condolences to his family.

Dear Denise and Jenny:
My prayers are with you during this difficult time. I was shocked and grieved when I received the news of Joe's death. I have ironed many a shirt of Joe's and perhaps did a bit of mending. Jenny, I remember you as a little girl coming to help pick up Daddy's shirts. You always had to come in and say, "Hi!" I will continue to pray that God's comfort and strength will be evident to you.

Dear Denise,
The first time I met "Mr. Wickham" was when I was called to the Principal's office for my son, of course he was a pleasure and all full of smiles. The last time I saw "Joe", both of you were all full of smiles, as you had just moved into your new home with your new baby and I had just finished wallpapering. My thoughts are with you and your daughter in this time of great loss. He touched many lives.

My deepest condolences to the Wickham Family. Mr. Wickham was not only my principal for 9 years, but a great role model. Not only did he influence my life, but I know he did for many others who came through Neil Hafley.

This man's intervention and caring were truly seminal in the life of my best friend and I during the 9 years he was my principal. Countless others too, I'm sure. I can say that I would not have the measure of success I have now if it were not for his mentorship. --Jeff Takada
