Charles Kop wrote a sympathy message

“I met Dr. Wilson in late September of 2014 while traveling U.S. 83 and visiting the museum where he volunteered. We had a great conversation, and I've included my encounter with him in a book I'm finishing about my journey. He sent me a copy of his memoirs, and he truly had a long and Purposeful Life that I greatly admire. He signed his book: "A friend in the flesh but an hour or so, but a bond developed over our writings that will last a lifetime." Charles Kop Fort Collins, CO”
