I just came back from a funeral for a great man.  Walter Wilhelm was once the pastor at my church, and has since been a pastor to the senior group and a constant encourager to everyone he met.  He was a tremendous man of God and hearing all the stories and testimonies today only affirmed that.  When I was sick with cancer, and ever since, he has always expressed a sincere interest in how I was doing.  Since he himself had cancer, this was always especially encouraging to me.
