Wilber Wayne Quick, 90, has gone home, leaving behind a circle of those who loved him.
These are some of the moments and memories that shaped his story.
Wilber's story began in 1930, and unfolded across the years that followed.
Wilber spent his working life as ['Auto Body Specialist'] and held deeply to the Methodist faith — and was, by all accounts, loved by those who knew him best.
Belief, when lived, becomes a kind of inheritance.
