I will miss Danny. You don’t have to see someone every day to feel the love. My Dad Al loved his brothers. They are talking I’m sure about the past right now.

So many great, funny memories! No matter where I was or how old I was, seeing Mr. Wilcox always made me feel special, important and loved. He was an amazing person and he has given that gift to his beautiful children and grandchildren, heck, to all of us that knew him ❤ Have fun in heaven and say Hi to dad for me 😇

Sad to hear about Danny. I have fond memories of Danny at Webb Chapel Baptist Church. Always had a smile and laughing. A servant for sure. Prayers for the family in the months ahead as adjustments without Danny are difficult.
