Biography - Bob Wilcox

 

Jan and I have been attending Good Shepherd since 1998.  I am a lifelong Episcopalian and Jan is a recovering Presbyterian. 

As a child, I attended St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Westfield, NJ and attended the youth programs, was a member of the choir and was an acolyte.

At Good Shepherd I have been involved with Christmas in April, designing and building the Memorial Garden and remodeling the parish house for new clergy.  I am a member of the "Rector's Think Tank", enjoying the fellowship of the men's group, and was involved with building the new building.

Jan is co-chair of the Alter Guild and a teller captain.

After in-country Vietnam service and a tour at the Defense Intelligence Agency as a Naval Officer, I became a mortgage banker and then in 1974 opened my own business building homes.  Over the years I have not only built hundreds of homes, but also hotels, office buildings, condominiums, warehouses, a funeral home (which I owned and operated with a partner) and currently build homes, do remodeling, additions, energy audits, etc.

I am excited at the possibility of serving on the Vestry because we have so much new potential with our added space.  My, what's been called, "outside-the-box" thinking may add a new perspective to vestry matters, which I hope will be useful to our church.

I love our music, the service ritual, the liturgy ritual and rich history of the Episcopal Church as well as the warm and caring church family here at Good Shepherd.

Thank you for your consideration.
