At the end of his presidency, he was named president emeritus. "The Blue Water Sportsmans association feel a keen personal loss of its first president and the club directors will hold a special meeting to adopt suitable resolu- tions" said Arthur M. Mann, pres- ident. Mr. Wilcox was one of the best shots in the State on the skeet range. He was an ardent hunter, fisherman and conservationist. He was a member of Brockway lodge No. 316, F & A.
