He is survived by his daughter, Tracey (Chris); his son, Sean; his sisters, Beverly (Ken) and Barbara (John); and his grandchildren, Gabe, Peyton, Baylor, and Caraline.

I was married to his cousin Merrill for over 40 years. I have loved him that long and will continue to love him forever. I'm so sorry that he passed but I'm glad he is in no more pain. I love you Wilbur. Amen
