So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at John 5:25, 28,29
Most truly I say to you, the hour is coming, and it is now, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who have paid attention will live.
"Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice, and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment".

To the Wilson Family:
Dick was a legend not only at Staley but in the electrical industry throughout the US! He was one of the hardest working, smartest electricians I have ever met. When he began teaching our young men through our education program, he really was in his element. I'll never forget working along side Dick on some of the most complicated projects our company had ever seen. There was never a project that he couldn't figure out. We have missed him dearly since his retirement. I'm proud to say that Staley Inc. will continue on as a tribute to Dick Wilson and all the men and women who he inspired!
Sincerely,
Brent Staley

Brenda,
I am sorry I didn't get to visit with Dick much after he left Staley. I have fond memories of the challenging projects we worked together and just seeing him every work day for over 22 years. We had so many good times and laughs !
I am so sorry but I cannot be there Tuesday due to prior commitments.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and if I can do anything do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
Gary Ferrell
