Wilson was thoughtful and kind in his participation at the forum. He could be trusted. There’s just not many people like that. I did like Wilson. I even told him that when he found fault with me.

A lot of people have come and gone. Daddy-0- left a hole when he passed on.

Thanks Rembo for the reminder !

I agree that ** Daddy-O ** was a "much valued" Forum member.

I will say that I did not know him personally, but he WAS always
courteous & willing to contribute something positive on this Forum.
I briefly communicated with him via Private Messages too !

Believe !.........Have faith !..........We WILL see him again in a much
better condition and place. :)
