Geno You will be loved and Missed by all, Especially by Amber & I.
We are so glad to have been able to share his last days with him. He always seemed to brighten up when Amber was around. When we called the house to speak with my mother Amber always asked about Geno. I know his kindness and playfulness is what we will always remember.
Teresa you are in my thoughts and prayers ,i cant imagine what you are going thru .Just know to trust in god that he has a plan.If i can do anything please get intouch.Im sorry i have to work and wont be able to attend the service.
Dear Teresa and Robbie, I am so sorry to hear about Geno. He was one of the loves of my life. I have never known anyone else that could put up with the crazy women in his life like he did. And his dedication to BK was wonderful! I’m sorry I can’t make it to the service today, but you will be in my thoughts & prayers. Would love to see both of you! Love, Jayne
Wilson Family-Sorry to hear about your loss. Every since I’ve heard about Petes passing I’ve been trying to figure out ‘how do you mourn a man you don’t know other than what’s in his obituary’. Especially when that man could have been one of the closest to you in your life. I suppose I’m mourning what could have been between us. I’m 44 yrs. old and the last time I saw Pete was when I was 13 or 14 yrs old. I reached out to him yrs ago when I found out he worked at BK. I called and wished him Happy Birthday and we corresponded for a short time after that.Then I guess we just went on with our busy lives thinking well they will always be tomorrow. Well we all know tomorrow never gets here. Proof of that came about Sunday. I feel his passing was a loss to both of us. He lost out on all the joys and sorrows of my life just as I missed out on his. And with his passing we’ll never know what could have been. After the healing begins if any of the Wilson family would like to reach out my number is in the book. God Bless!!!
Pam sorry for the passing of your father. So sad that he never reached out to get to know you. He missed out on a wonderful daughter and 3 beautiful grandchildren. If you need someone to talk to Im here for you. Love You Always Lou
To ALL of the family members of Hurst Eugene ‘Pete’ Wilson, My condolences are with you in this time of sorrow. We were classmates @ Enka High School graduating in 1960. I worked on compiling the up-to-date roster of our class & in fact our class along with the classes of ’56-’59 had a reunion this past Sat. night & we started plans for our 50th class reunion next year. We plan on having a memorial table with pictures of our deceased classmembers and his will certainly be included. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Daddy,
It’s been a week since your passing and for me, it’s not gotten any better. I miss you terribly and love you very, very much. I know it will take time but this was so sudden when you were doing so well. Sometimes, I don’t understand but I suppose it’s not for me to ponder. It was your time and I know we should be rejoicing but I’m feeling selfish and want you back with us. I know you know how much I love and care for you. I am thankful to have had the opportunity to spend the last 38 years of your life with you. Thank you daddy ~ LOVE YOU!
