  1. He is in a better place looking down on his family. I enjoyed him being a farmer to me and others. I am still thinking of him day and night. Please guide your family being in good and bad times. We love you deeply David. Without you is being lost as a friend. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

  2. I am so sorry for your loss. I didn’t know Mr. Bilger, but go by his farm every morning and night as I live around the corner and go that way to and from work. I enjoyed stopping to give the horses a carrot or two and would see Mr. Bilger outside. I will miss looking over towards the barn and seeing him in the area. I do hope the farm stays and is named in Mr. Bilger’s memory.

  3. Please accept my sincere sympathy for your loss. Wes was a kind and compassionate person to my son and his family. Even though I did not know him I felt as if I did. My son Jon, his wife Jessica and my grandson Justin shared many happy memories at the farm. Wes will be truly missed. God bless you.

  4. Wes, you’ll will be missed by many.You had such a unique personality,one second good mood, next second watch out. But, that was who you were. What I will remember the most is the SMILE on your face when you watched the children ride around your driveway on the horses and ponies. Thank you for the memories.
