I met Mr. Wilde 20 + years ago. I always considered him a friend. I enjoyed spending time with him or talking on the phone. He always had a positive outlook on everything! I always called him Mr. Wilde out of respect!
Rest in Peace Brother Roy Wilde. You will be missed!
Roy was a good friend of mine for more than 30
years. I enjoyed listening to his stories. He will be greatly missed. Our condolences to the Wilde family.

Oh, Roy,
You will be missed. The time we sat along the river and talked for most of the hot August morning, I won’t soon forget. Thank you for being a great mentor.
