Read MoreI just learned of this sad news. Bill was a wonderful person and I enjoyed sitting with him at his home watching Wheel of Fortune, Pirates and CSI. Had I known about this I would have been there to pay my respects in person. I am sure that he is glad to be reunited with the love of his life. You have my deepest sympathy. PEGGY

Uncle Bill was a fine man and a fine Uncle. I will miss him dearly but hold onto fond memories of Westin family get togethers.

So very sorry to hear of Mr. Wilson's passing. My name is Beverly Hill Faust. Our church came to the Presbyterian Home every other month to hold a church service. The first time Bill attended he asked me where I was from and I said "Swissvale" and that brought a light to his eye. He asked if I knew a Tom Hill - and yes I did as a matter of fact, he was my father. We became friends from that moment on - reminiscing about the good old days. He will be missed by many. What a wonderful man.

So sorry to learn of Bill's death. I knew his health wasn't the best. As one of his former principals, I always had the highest regard for him as a teacher and respect for him as a person. I recall he made a visit to my house one time while I was recovering from some surgery. He was just an all-around nice man.

Bill was a quiet, kind, caring man who was an avid reader and deep thinker. He loved his family and life in general and always looked for the positive, encouraging others to do the same.
I was fortunate to have met Bill at Presbyterian SeniorCare, where he participated in my discussion group for many years, up until the last few weeks. The love and admiration between Bill and his daughter Carol was evident.
Bill will be sorely missed by everyone who knew him. I'm thankful for...
