Wilbur grew up and attended school at Spring Creek Country School until his eighth grade year. He then went to Mountain View, graduating in 1942. It was here he met the love of his life Mildred Franklin. He went to California after graduation because he had seen all the farm life he wanted.

His tour of duty was in the European Theater. After the war he came home and married Mildred on June 26, 1945. To this union was born one child, Bob. He worked for PSO as a meter reader and a lineman in Clinton, Oklahoma. In January of 1948, they moved to Mountain View, California as many okies did to make their fortune.
