Mr. & Mrs. Raymond H. Wood and Family (Auburn , New York)

I will always have fond memories of my interactions with John, when I was a young man. He made quite and impression. Though I have not spoken to him in long time, he and his have been in my thoughts often. He will be missed.

As a fairly new parole agent in Pa, I recall 'Hearing Examiner' Wilson as an extremely respectful and courteous person, and keep his positive influence with me to this day. I had no idea of his many and varied accomplishments, aside from skiing, which we had the occasion to compare notes on. My condolences to his family at this difficult time.

I knew John as an agent, supervisor, and hearing examiner. He was a good man with a BIG heart. My deepest sympathies goes out to you and your family.
