Dear Lydia and family, I have a card addressed to you to express my sympathy, but do not have a recent address. This was a very appropriate word about Wilbur. Although we’ve not been in touch recently, please know that my prayers and thoughts are with you. (I noted that Lillian Heim was among your husband’s relatives. Lillian was my mother’s cousin, so I guess we are related at least through marriage.)

I was saddened to hear of Wills passing.   Both Will and Earl volunteered their time in the Pathology Department where I worked.   They were both remarkable men, very accomplished and true gentleman.   We were sad when Will decided it was time to end his volunteering time.  My condolences to his family as I know he will be greatly missed.

Thoughts and Prayers to Will’s Family – so sorry to have heard of his passing🙏🏼 Will was a volunteer in our Pathology Department at LGH for many years, where we heard numerous stories of his grandchildren, of whom he was very proud!! I enjoyed our talks, as I was also born and raised in Schuylkill County. 
Thank you for all your help Will – it was greatly appreciated!! Rest In Peace🙏🏼🙏🏼

Lydia, I was so sorry to hear of Wilbur’s passing.  I have many fond memories of being with Wilbur and the Potts clan over the years (Deer Lake, family reunions).  He was truly a gentleman with a wonderful sense of humor.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family at this difficult time.

Dear Lydia and family, 
When I heard your voice on my machine I just knew. Wilbur was around the St. John St. home so much when I was growing up he was almost like a big brother. We stayed somewhat connected all these years till we were both grandparents. The picnics at your place were especially great and I will always remember the entertainment of playing Johnny Carson & Ed McMahon with Earl  @ a Christmas party. They were all such special times. He was a wonderful man and his memory will be treasured by so many.
Lovingly, Janis Wise

I knew Wil when he was at Hempfield High School, where I also taught. He was always a kind, funny, and generous colleague. My condolences to his family and friends. He will be missed.

Dear Lydia,
I just read of Wilbur’s passing and am so sorry for your loss. I remember his thoughtful approach to most things. I now work with Syrian refugees in the Middle East, so I feel far away. But I will pray God is near you and your family. Don Johns
