Mrs. Wilson and Family,
We send our condolences on the loss of your husband and father. We were band students of Mr. Wilson's at Malinta-Grelton and have such great memories of him and respected him so much. Back when the band was formed in 1961 he worked so hard with the band boosters to make the band program a success. We especially remember the dignity he brought to his work and his love of music. He always looked so splendid in his uniform as he marched along side his band.
I remember the excitement of the community during the months while we prepared for parades. As we marched through the town practicing our music, neighbors would come out in front of their homes to cheer us on. He gave is such a sense of accomplishment and pride.
Bob and I are now both retired after 30 years in education. I was a music teacher at Patrick Henry Local Schools (Malinta and Hamler), so you see he influenced me greatly.
His memory will always live on!
