A little over 10 years ago towards the end of 2012 one of our members, Daddy-O- let us know that he had a brain tumor and asked us to pray for his family. He was trying to get to 1,000 posts and was excited about reaching his goal. He never made it past 855.

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.

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 !

better condition and place.
