Wilbur attended Big Tobacco Country School through the eighth grade. He married Janis M. Koupal on October 28, 1952 at St. John Catholic Church in Wagner. Two children were blessed to their union. After their marriage, they farmed for ten years on the Nedved Homestead south of town and then moved into Wagner in 1962. At this time, they purchased the Saw Dust Trail Bar and operated that for ten years. Wilbur then worked for Pirner Farm Service for many years. Wilbur and Janis worked as custodians at the Commercial State Bank and St. John Catholic Church for 15 years, until they retired. Throughout his life, Wilbur worked as a general mechanic and handy man. He mowed many lawns and generally could fix just about anything, even coat zippers.

Wilbur was a life time member of St. John Catholic Church.
