We will be attending the 20th show directed and produced by Mrs. Twitchell this coming weekend at GCS. We will certainly be remembering Wilson as "Chip" up on the stage...and it will bring a smile to all of us. He is not forgotten. Sending hugs. -Sheila and Family

We have not forgotten Wilson...and we smile when we hear his name. When all the kids were home for Christmas, we watched old dvds of various Groton Musicals (for old time's sake and laughter)...We all watched Wilson as Chip...and we all paused a moment to think of him...his smile...his kind heart. Wanted you to know that we have fond memories. Sending strength and hugs.

Wilson will always have a special place in our hearts. We remember his kindness, wonderful smile, sense of humor, curiosity, and friendship with Zoe. We are so sad he is no longer with us, but feel fortunate to have known him and shared his bright light.

On behalf of the entire community at Finger Lakes Community College we were sadden to learn of Wilson's passing. Classmates and instructors have all expressed what a joy he was and that he will be missed. Our deepest sympathies.

On behalf of TCAT, I am sending my deepest sympathies to Wilson's loved ones. TCAT hosted Wilson and his Dad, Don, on a tour of TCAT's facility in Ithaca in 2015. He definitely brightened our day! It was a privilege to meet such an incredibly bright young man; he educated me far more than I could have ever educated him about transit. Don and all other loved ones, please know that all of you are in our hearts and thoughts and that we wish you as much solace as possible during these sorrowful times.

I am so thankful to have met Wilson. Although I did not know him long, I value the moments we spent together. He was so kind and always made me laugh at work. He was so funny. From working late shifts on register, or shopping all day, I loved our conversations and his genuine heart. My heart goes out to his parents, friends, and family. I am so sorry for your loss. His bright light will be missed dearly.

I had only a few conversations with Wilson and just from those few conversations you would be able to tell what a kind and bright spirit he was. May he rest in paradise. My deepest condolences to his family.

Dear Nancy and Don:
I am struggling with the words, but wanted to send our deepest sympathies. Wilson was such a fine young man. He truly cared about his community and always gave back...and then some! He was a classmate with our daughter and she always spoke highly of Wilson. To our eldest son, who played Gaston several years ago, Wilson will always be "Chip" from his days back on the GCS stage. May you find comfort in knowing that your son will not be forgotten, and that we will smile whenever we think of him. You are in our thoughts. -Sheila, Kevin, Zack, Nate, and Maggie

The world just dimmed a bit. I have so so many fond, eye-rolling and laughter-filled memories of learning experiences with Wilson. The passion he brought to everything helped to create such joy to those around him. I am so sorry for your pain and loss.

I am so saddened to hear of Wilson's passing, and that he will no longer enrich us with his intelligence, curiosity and good humor. Wilson was full of promise and was destined to accomplish great things in this world. He endeared himself to everyone he encountered, and all of his instructors and fellow students at FLCC will sorely miss him.

Wilson was one of the first friends I made at Groton Elementary. He was always so kind to everyone around him. One of my favorite memories was seeing him on stage with my brother, as he played Chip in Groton’s Beauty and the Beast. He had a great sense of humor and was an extremely talented boy. I am so sad to hear of his passing, and I offer my condolences, thoughts, and prayers to his loved ones.

This makes me so sad. Wilson was a student in my class last semester at FLCC. I always enjoyed chatting with him there and at Wegmans. My condolences to his family.
