To the Wisener's: The entire family of 'Pete', and the late Mildred Austin, would like to convey our sympathies to you at this time. None of us can remember a time that the name 'Roy Wisener' was not well-known, and well-respected, in and around Pike County.

Dear Sharon and Family,
Roy was one of the first friends I made in Glenwood. I drove up from Murfreesboro in early 1975 to meet the man that everyone already regarded as a legend. I will miss him. Dawn and I will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. Lawrence Graves

Although I wasn't aquainted with Mr. Wisener as well as some people here at the bank, I always enjoyed talking with him when he would come visit the bank. He almost always sat at my desk, especially if Sheena was busy! I will never forget Mr. Wisener for his signature suit & tie, and that sweet smile he always had on his face. My thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Wisener's family.

Dear Sharon & Don,
You know how much we enjoyed being around Mr. Wisener. From the yellow chevrolet and the red chevrolet we bought from him to the last meal we shared together,it was a joy to be in his company. He was always so much fun to talk to and visit with. He was always so sweet and kind to us and we appreciated him. You know, as we reflect on his life here, there are "good times" going on in heaven as he spends time with those who have gone on before. We will miss him.
Love,
Allen & Lynnda Noble

Malena, Elwood & family,
We were so sorry to hear about Roy. Over the past 19 years, we have gotten to know him better and have enjoyed visiting with him whenever he came in the store. Sometimes he would tell about growing up and he always had such interesting stories to tell. Joey grew up next door to Roy's sister, Floy Mae, so he grew up hearing about Roy from her. We will really miss his visits.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Elwood and Family,
I knew of you and Roy as a girl growing up. I got to know Roy as an adult. When I went to work at the Ford place we had that in common. Then the special relationship began when I went to work at the bank. I always enjoyed Roy and the stories he would tell about the car business and Win and Dan, he loved you boys so much. I got so tickled at Roy when he told me about the trip, probably the last trip where Sharon was the driver and he got so nervous because Sharon was driving and eating, and talking on the cell phone.
I will miss him,
I Love you all,
Sheena
