Hi, everyone. This is “Mrs. Carp” (Polycarp’s wife).I thought some of those he was close to might like to know, he passed away at WakeMed Hospital at 5:50 (est)this evening after a prolonged, unknown illness. He was taken to t he emergency room at approximately 7:45 Sunday evening and never regained consciousness. They put him on life support, and at my request, pulled the plug at 3:15 this afternoon.
If anyone would like more information we are listed under David Wilbur in Zebulon, NC.
