Those we love don't go away.  They walk beside us everyday unseen and unheard, but always near.  Still loved, still missed. Always remembered.

Dave,Val and family, so sorry about your loss.  Charlie has fond memories of your dad and the lake house.

Dear Bea & Family- I have lost a true family friend. Mike was at the Double D farm in Pittsford when I arrived home, 59 years ago. Mike helped out baby sitting for me as my parents ran the farm. Mike was a gentleman, a top notch world sailor and a great father to his children, which he deeply loved, a good husband to his beloved wife of 50 years, Bernice. Mike was their for me when my dad passed away in Old Forge. I will always be greatful for his kindness. The fun over many summers spent at 4 th lake with his family, at my parents camp.I will always look back on the great memories we shared over the years, and may each of you keep your memories in your hearts, to get through this difficult time.

A light shines in the harbor for my dad.  He was a wonderful father who was always there for me no matter what. He brought me comfort when I needed consoling, strength when I was weak and joy when I was sad.  I love him very much and will miss him more than words can express.  

Thank you to all our family and friends who have expressed kind words and extensions of comfort during this very difficult time.

On behalf of the American Red Cross, our condolences to Mr. Wilcox's family and friends.
