  6. Dear David and family. My sincere condolences to you on Steve’s passing. We shared SO many songs, memories, laughs and ‘lugging that organ’ stories throughout the years of Sunset. Steve was one of the MOST gifted musicians that I have ever met and had the pleasure to call co-worker & friend. Tomorrow at church, I will play the beloved hymn “Beyond the Sunset” in honor of Steven R. Wilson. xoxo Linda Maycock

  7. We were so sorry to hear of Steve’s passing. He and I were in the same class at NRHS and had been friends for a very long time. Steve, Marty and I took a trip to California after graduation and made some wonderful memories while crossing the country that I will cherish forever. Rest in peace, my friend.
