To the family, I offer my most sincere and heartfelt condolences. I was blessed to know Wilbur as a volunteer at St. Mary’s Hospital and we shared many laughs at my “Poor, pitiful attempts at speaking German.” with him. He was a pleasure to know )and a treasure to boot. As always, Wie Gehts? Ach, immer gut! (How goes? Always good. You are missed Wilbur. Elaine Ehardt
