Dear Zeigler Family,
We are all very sorry to hear about Mr. Wilbur's death. He was such a likeable person. He, Dad and Mr. J.H. worked together for over 25 years at Old Fort. Mr. Wilbur helped Dad get the job as a salesman in the mid-50s. Mr. Wilbur will be sorely missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. Wendy, and all the Zeigler family are in our prayers. Love, The Williamson Family
