We are sorry for the passing of Alden but we know he is with the Lord and family that proceeded him in death. I have many wonderful memories of him dating Betty Ann. Just remember although you don't see him he will always be near you. You will be doing something
and then remember he taught you how to do it years ago. we are sorry we can't attend his services but you understand. Our prayers are with you and our phone calls will continue to pester you.
Love, Uncle Pete & Aunt Pinkie.

Though I never met Mr. Wilson personally, his legacy of being a wonderful and great man is very present in his daughters and his grandchildren along with their respective families whom I have had the privilege of getting to know. I know Elizabeth loved her grandmother and grandfather dearly, and their wonderful spirit and teachings in and of life will be forever passed down through the generations on account of the loved they showed and taught to her. It is truly a blessing to know his memory and life will be forever memorialized in their hearts.

Grandpa,
You were always such a sweet, kind hearted, and gentle man. I remember so many things about you, but what stands out is your sense of humor and the corny jokes you would tell. You have always been close to my heart and I loved you more than you knew. You will always be my wise old "Owl." XOXOXOXOXO, love, ELIZABETH.
