A tragic loss of a fine young man and a good friend of our family. I loved driving Wilson to school with son Tom and Tommy Glass as we had a lot of laughs and silly games in the car. Wilson was the quick witted one who knew all my country music and was the first out the car door for a "Hurricane". But that's a story for another day! we will miss him.

I am deep sorry to hear about the tragic accident. I was lucky enough to know Wilson when he was a wee fella at Ward school. And I caught up with him about a year ago at work. What a fine young man he had turned into. He came up to me and said hello, it made my day really that he remembered me. Sad that will be our last words together. RIP Wilson

Had the opportunity to ski with Wilson and his dear mother, Laura, a few years ago in Santa Fe. We had such a great day, and I will always remember his warm smile. Wilson was such a fun, witty, and compassionate young man, and he will forever be in our hearts.
