Hello I stumbled across this doing an online search. Wiley was a long time friend of mine. Despite his crimes he did have some good things about him. May he rest in peace.
Jim was a U.S.M.C. Veteran and a good man when i met him in early 2000’s.
Im also a Veteran.
He helped me in to recover from alcohol thru 12 step recovery.
I recovery i still enjoy today. I’ll have 24 years sobriety next month.
We are sad to here of his passing.
I cant speak to his crimes but Jesus said “let he without sin cast the first stone”.
RIP / SEMPER FIDELIS.
