During his working years, he was employed by Walgreen's when they were located in the Mall, then later he worked for the Mall. Then he went to work for Oilgear Company as a machinist in Fremont until his health forced his retirement.

The family is very appreciative of the attention and care that Wilbur received at Dunklau Gardens. They made sure he had his 'cheetos'. Wilbur was a fan of the Denver Broncos and NASCAR.
