To Wilson's family....Wilson came to work for us upon graduation from Purdue University. In the few short months I got to know him I realized what a special man he was.We spent several days in Louisville Ky working a trade show and so I got to spend time with him and find out lots about him and his family. He was ALL about his family and loved them all very dearly.He told me about Peru and some of the culture and you could see in his eyes as he spoke it held a special place in his heart. He spoke of the Peruvian Festival in Patterson, New Jersey and while he hadn't been to it, we talked like we might go next year. He spoke of what a big part potatoes played in the Peruvian culture and diet and there were many kinds of potatoes and the purple ones were his favorite. Helping people was what Wilson lived for, it was second nature to him as he was always ready to help. He gave of his time to the homeless shelter here, guided new students around campus, always wanting to help.Wilson, you were an incredible man in so many ways. I will miss your smiling face every morning when you came to work. Just one look at that smile and you knew you were a happy and content man. You were my friend and I will miss you... ...
Now I'm going to look for purple potatoes......Paul J. Di Fabio
