Every time I go to Mr. Chill for my hair cut I can’t help but reminisce on the conversations we had and especially we always prayed before I left the shop. I pray for his wife Joyce and children as they cherish his memory. May he look down on us from heaven.

Dear Family with our Deepest Sympathy,
Mr. Chill as we had known him. He was one of a kind, a young man full of wisdom from God. He was very caring and always positive. We thank God for allowing us the opportunity of meeting Mr. Chill, his lovely wife and family. I sat with my husband on his Saturday barber days(due to my husband's illness) Mr. Chill gave my husband and everyone he met encouragement with kindness always. He was a true people's person to all. He truly will be missed and always in our fond memories. God Bless Mr. Chill's soul and God Bless The Family. We are praying for All. (Walter L. Cohen 76).

Ms. Joyce and Family, we send our prayers to comfort you and the family. Our meeting Mr. Chill was destined by God. Mr. Chill became a barber, mentor, big brother, and the man--my two sonsMatthew and Joshua needed in their lives. I remember sitting in the shop, and the conversations I had with Mr. Chill. I will always remember the Walk a Mile for a Child that we attended and the Tie Tying Ceremony that Matthew participated in2011. I am thankful that our paths crossed, and there will never be another man like Mr. Chill. You are loved and will be missed.

My prayers are with you, Ms. Joyce and family. Our meeting Mr. Chill was destined by God. He became barber, mentor, big brother, and the man my sons, Matthew and Joshua needed in their lives. I will always remember the times I sat in the barber shop waiting for them and the conversations Mr. Chill and I had. I will always remember the Walk a Mile for a Child that we attended, and the Tie Tying Ceremony that Matthew was a part of. What can I say, my heart hurts, but I am thankful that our paths crossed with such a loving and caring man. There will never be another Mr. Chill. We love and will miss you.

To: Mr. Chill's Family,
May the God of Comfort, comfort you and your family in this time of need. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Chills when he become my son, Jordan's barber during his high school years. He was a very inspirational man and a great encourager to him during his college years at XU. Believe me when I say, he has left a significant impact upon my son's life. Mr. Chills will be greatly missed in this community. He was a leader, a excellent motivator, and a very encouraging individual who will be greatly missed. May God bless and keep his family during this special time. Mr. Chills, I thank God our paths crossed in this life.
May your soul rest in peace.

Joyce Wilson, Mother and family of Wilbert Mr. Chill Wilson.
I extend my words of deepest sympathy to all of you during this time of sorrow and grief. Trust in the Lord and he will comfort you. Chill and I prayed after each time he cut my hair, and the last few times I was at the shop he led our prayers I know Jesus greeted him with open arms and said to him 'well done my good and faithful servant come and take your rest."

Will was a great human being. I met Will when he was a freshman at Walter L. Cohen and remember the great conversations we had. He followed me during my basketball days at Cohen and always had the best perspective on life. Always knew he would be special. You will always be remembered.
