Robert Wilson Obituary

Robert "Bob" Edward Wilson, longtime resident of Greenwich, Connecticut, passed away on Friday, November 24, 2023. He was 81 years old. Born in Greenwich, he was the son of Ruth and Edward Wilson. He attended Greenwich High School, then went onto Allegheny College in Pennsylvania. He received his Masters in Business at New York University and served in the United States Army during Vietnam. He was employed at Price Waterhouse, Paul Hanson and ended his career as Chief Financial Officer of the Juran Institute.

Bob devoted much of his time serving the community he loved so much, volunteering at the Hill House, The United Way of Greenwich and the Byram Archibald Neighborhood Center. As a young man, he was an avid runner and later in life developed a passion for gardening. He spent many happy hours at Tod's Point sipping red wine with his wife Janet by his side. One of his greatest joys was spending time with his two granddaughters.

He is survived by his mother Ruth P Wilson, sister Janet Benson, wife Janet Wilson, his son Marc Wilson (Kathleen Wilson), granddaughters Eliza Wilson and Margo Wilson, niece Kim Benson, nephew Bill Benson and brother in law Mike Davies.

Sitting at Tod´s Point on sundays in the summer. Janet and I would be caring on conversation and Bob and Ray would be sitting enjoying the day and then all of a sudden the two guys would break out in a conversation about the Mets. Missing you Bob and missing those days at Tod´s Point.

Through the years of Bob´s presence at both our son´s hockey games; seeing him walk through our neighborhood in later years; stopping to chat and catch up on family news. His interest yet quiet demeanor will remain with us. Our hearts go out to Janet and family for their loss. Joan & Whitney Merrill
