He lived up to his name strong.

Wilbur originated, devised and installed power monitoring "ocillographs" for appoximately two dozen sub-stations, inlcuding Boulder Dam and the Owens Valley projects. He was honored by the Los Angeles Water and Power Department.

Having been raised without a father affected him deeply, although he never talked about it. His dedication and loyalty to his family was his highest priority. His example of the highest morals and ethics in his conduct was his greatest gift to his children Richard (LA firechief) and daughter Shirely (school teacher and counselor).

He attended Newport Beach Grammar School, Culver Military Academy in Indiana, NIles Michigan, Armour Technical Institute in Illinoise, Notre Dame in Inidana, and completed Electrical Engineering studes are received his degree from USC.

I have many fond memories of my grandfather who I adored!
