Dailey Funeral Home Is Honored To Serve The Wildeman Family I'll miss the conversations about everything, and in every direction. Always interesting and fun! A really Good Friend! Michael & I shared our love of all things Notre Dame. We always had enjoyable and sometimes off the wall conversations. I loved his laugh and somewhat warped sense of humor. He was a great friend and I will miss him immensely.
