This man walked each day with God in every way! He was so special and I will miss him terribly, as I do my own Father. Love you Grandpa!

That is quite a legacy! He lived a full and wonderful life. So glad he is in heaven rejoicing with all of his family. I hope he gives my mammaw and pappaw (Woodrow and Bernice) a big hug from me! Hugs to the rest of his family here who I know will miss him dearly.

Uncle Harry was one of the dearest and sweetest men I have been privileged to know. He and my father, Woodrow, his brother were so close and our families spent many vacation times together. Laughter and relating stories, especially preacher stories, were among my favorites. He will remain in our hearts and conversations always. May God be with all of Uncle Harry's family members and may you find comfort in knowing how much he was loved.
With much love and blessings, Faith (Wilson) Berton-Dubin. Laguna Woods, Ca

While I had never met Mr. Wilson... the relatives I have met demonstrate what most desire in a loving family. The large group certainly have many memories and appreciate your long, well-lived life. RIP.
