Little Rock, AR Thursday, October 10, 2019 Oh Wilbur, my heart is broken and so sad! I wish u would’ve known about your passing before today because I would’ve been there for sure. You have been a true blessing to have as a friend and you’ll forever be missed. I know there is not one memory from my college days that doesn’t have Wallis and you in it. Dang, even the younger years. Some reason God called you home and I must say he gained the greatest angel ever. Man brother this is hard to swallow but I know you’ll be up above, smiling big and ready to see us all again one day. Thank you for being a friend, a man with a heart of gold and for always knowing when to check on me in my dark days. I love you brother and will definitely see each other again.Callie Jo Lewis
