My Sweetheart, How can it be that you are not by my side? We share a lifetime of love together and forever. You always made everything better. You eased our problems, took on our burdens, and lifted our spirits with love and laughter. "May the road rise up to meet you, the wind be always at your back, may the sun shine warm upon your face, the rains fall soft upon your fields, and until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of his hand." Songs like "Happy Trails to you", "Til we meet again", "As time goes by", "When I'm 64", always brought tears to your eyes, you ole softie. What do we do now? You are forever in our hearts, loved beyond words, and missed beyond measure. Lost without you, doesn't even begin to describe my heartache. I'm incredibly thankful for our wonderful 52 years together, our blessed children and grandchildren. Your love continues to fill our hearts and thoughts. We're always talking to you, and waiting to hear and feel your wisdom. You always put other's first, loyal, honest and caring – My Knight in Shining Armor, a great doctor, and "The Most Interesting Man in the World"…I love you Rog. Val

Valerie, both of you are very special in our catalogue of memories. We loved to see your beautiful home & spacious, sculpted grounds. It all spoke of the special attention you gave for family, friends, and especially the grand children. A place for all to relax and enjoy Roger's handiwork. We especially enjoyed the fun family reunion we had when we all gathered there for the outdoor cook out. We could have stayed for days and never got caught up on all the conversations with everyone gathered there. Every flower was a work of art set in the most beautiful areas of your yard and wrap around deck. I will never forget the kind and personal attention Roger gave when a one on one conversation took place. His eyes never left me and I felt like such a "special Auntie". You will be forever missed. Much love & prayers to you, Valerie, Greg, & Wendi. We will keep in touch. Auntie Pat & Darrell

It is a poorer, sadder world without Roger. It hurts more even than I knew it would because, as you say, he brought joy and happiness wherever he went. Fortunate were his family, patients, friends, and all who knew him … as were we at that TJC Spanish for Beginners where we met.In a place of honor in our house bar, there is the famed "Ball Bat" he manufactured himself to immortalize his classic oral presentation about baseball in which he translated "ball bat" into "the bat [i.e., the nocturnal bird] of the ball." The entire class got a huge kick out of that. The "sculpture" he created is an official baseball with the head, the wings, and the legs of a rubber bird bat strategically located; the ensamble perched on a pedestal. It has presided our bar in Tulsa, Saudi Arabia, Houston, and now Fayetteville … and no one who has a drink with us fails to ask about it. Which means that Dr. Roger Wilson is often mentioned in our home and will continue to be.Roger was An Original. Of his numerous shining qualities, perhaps kindness was the jewel of the crown. Also, he had the good sense of marrying you Valery, the ideal complement to his "golden boy" persona. At one of those parties we used to have when we were young, another friend of mine observed: "Roger and Valerie are the handsomest couple I've ever seen; they are both perfect!!" She meant it in the physical sense, but it went well beyond that.I won't worry because you are strong and you have your supportive children and their families. But the void he leaves in all our lives …. well, we have the memories. All my love. — Dolores Proubasta
