 Wilbur
Lee Minderman Jr., 70, my beloved husband, my soul mate and my dream,
the most incredible man on the face of the earth, was released from
his suffering Wednesday, Sept. 17, 2008, at a hospital in Houston.
He had multiple myeloma, cancer of the bone marrow.
Celebration of life: 2 p.m. Tuesday, Cross Timbers Community Church,
1119 South U.S. Hwy 377, Argyle. Visitation: 7 to 9 p.m. Monday,
Bluebonnet Hills Funeral Home, 575 Colleyville Blvd.
Memorials: In lieu of flowers, donations to the Minderman Homeless
Fund, North Star Bank, Argyle, Texas will be appreciated.
I had the great honor of knowing him and loving him for 35 years. It
was a marriage made in heaven. His love for myself, our children and
grandchildren was unending.
Will was born in Truth or Consequences, N.M., on May 6, 1938. He was
a man of great talent who dedicated his life to serving others. At
the age of 18, he entered the Air Force Academy and graduated No. 1
out of 365 cadets. He became a fighter pilot, flying the F-100 and
F-104. He served his country for eight and a half years. He then
joined Delta Air Lines and became a captain at the young age of 29.
For the last 30 years, he provided Christmas for homeless children.
Will was a man that loved his family with all his heart. Even
through his illness, his only concern was for his loved ones.
Although heartbroken, his family is thankful to God for releasing
him from his pain.
Survivors: Loving wife, Shirley Minderman; mother, Lois Minderman of
Tucson, N.M.; sons, Michael Armstrong of Nottingham, England, and
Will Minderman and wife, Susan, of Springtown; daughters, Julia
Armstrong of Argyle, and Michelle Taylor and husband, Chris, of Fort
Worth; grandchildren, Alexandra, Jimmy, Carley and Isabelle. |
