    I was so sad to hear the news about Wilbur he used to come into my old job every week. He was such a kind person. He used to bake a chocolate cake on Valentine’s Day and bring it to us. I loved getting to wait on him and hear all his stories. He was always smiling and in a good mood. RIP Wilbur
