Victor Lee Wise

VICTOR LEE WISE was born on March 18, 1953 to the late Charlie and Corrie Wise, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania God called Victor home to rest after a brief illness on November 22, 2011 Victor was educated in his home town of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at Benjamin Franklin High School, and later at J. F. K. Vocational Technical Institute where he learned and mastered the CNC Machine (computerized numerical machines). This skill opened doors in companies such as Honeywell, UKM and DuPont in Delaware, which is where he retired from because of a back injury. Victor loved the Lord and was brought up in the Lord under the watchful eyes of his mother at an early age. He was a soldier for God from Macedonia Freewill Baptist Church to Shiloh Baptist in Wilmington, Delaware where he was ordained as a Deacon and instrumental in spearheading CTAC (Churches Take A Corner) to the Director of the Pulpit Committee (for finding a new Pastor for the church) to heading and staffing the Tutorial team at Shiloh for children that needed help as well as latchkey kids. But teaching new member class was his real passion. His love for the Lord led him back to school. He traveled back to Philadelphia, to attend C.U.T.S.(Center for Urban Theology Studies) where he studied to show himself worthy to teach the Gospel of Christ. In 1990 Victor met and married Marie Ferguson, and raised four children. His quote was “I tried before, I Love and adore this women.” Together they made a very spiritual and loving pair that loved Christ and moved to Baltimore to do the work of the Lord. They joined St Joseph Freewill Baptist Church under the leadership of Rev. Thaddeus B. Winkey in December of 2002. He leaves to mourn his passing: his wife, Marie Wise; three daughters Floyren Ferguson, Marie Kennedy (Maurice) and Erika Bobo (Myron); one son, Mark Ferguson; ten grandchildren whom he cherished, Errol and Holden Jones, Tiffany McGill, Anaiya and Kayla Burnham Briana and Tyler Ferguson, David and Mya Bobo and Dajon Dandridge; eight sisters-in-law, Etrulia Gay, Brenda Nasir, Phyllis Scott, Sanya Watson, Tracie Preston, Sharon Johnson and Julie Pressley; his mother-in-law (whom he loved and called nana) Sarah Ferguson; two brothers-in-law Rayland Ferguson and Robert Gay; a special sister Mary Alice Graham; a natural sister, Louvinia Glenn; a host of cousins, nieces nephews, very special lifetime friends Rev. Andrew Solice and Sharon, Rev. Kenneth Miller and Sangay, Rev. Thaddeus B. Winkey and Denice and Rev. Blake Mills and Rev. Carolyn Mills of Delaware.
