I never had the pleasure of meeting Wilmer, but I met Lotus, Alan and Douglas. I was married to Lotus' father, Leo Simon, as his 2nd wife. I heard about the many experiments that Wilmer did on birds. As I was going through my storage unit this year (2019) I located many items that I would like to forward on to Alan Miller. If anyone can please contact me with his current phone number/address, I would like to mail him a bucket full of items which include glassware engraved by Leo's uncle, photos, and antiques. I remember the visits from Wilmer's family, and the correspondence from Alan when my daughter, Marie, was young. You can reach me at: [email protected], 503-481-7284, Portland, Oregon. With many thoughts, Cynthia (Simon) Drayer

I met Wilmer and Lotus in the spring of 1998. We became very good friends and made me feel one of their family members. Wilmer will be missed by many, but he will live forever through his teachings. www.ringneckdove.com

Dear Lotus and family
I had the privilege of meeting Wilmer several years ago, due to our shared interest in finches. Wilmer was always willing to share his knowledge and his passion and I learned so much from him. I have plants in my home from Africa and Brazil, thanks to Wilmer. I will miss my friend.

As a close friend of my family, and particularly of my father and brother, Wilmer Miller was an important part of my formative years, and an always welcome guest at our family celebrations. He was a consummate teacher, caring family man, loyal friend and highly respected by his students and colleagues. I feel a deep sense of loss at his passing which I know I share with Lotus, Douglas and Alan. At the same time, I count myself very fortunate to have been given the honor and privilege of having known Wilmer and learning from him for so many years.

Dear Lotus and Family,
My heart is heavy to hear of the passing of Wilmer. We have been friends for over eighty years since I first met him in the Second Grade at Washington School. My thoughts and prayers will be with you and the family on Saturday morning.

Dear Lotus & Family,
My thoughts are with you all at this difficult time. I wish I could join you to celebrate Wilmer's remarkable life on Saturday, but will be out of town. He will be missed by many.
With deepest sympathy,
Mark
