He graduated from LSHS in 1962 and attended Everett Community College. He was a godly man devoted to his religion his entire life and acted accordingly. His first job was box boy at B&M grocery store then lineman at PUD. He changed his career to insurance sales working for Wilson & Rowe, then off to inspection services for commercial kitchens. He formed Wilson Insurance Brokers with his sister, Tanya Lindell and his father until retirement in 2000. He loved the outdoors hunting deer and could not wait to move to Wenatchee, WA, after his home was sold by his sister in Lynnwood, WA. He never married but enjoyed the love of all his nieces and nephews and great nieces and great nephew. He leaves behind his sister, Tanya Wilson Lindell, and his brother, Van Wilson, along with nieces, Nichelle Hilton and family and Toni Anarde and family. Recently he became a great great uncle. A happy celebration of his life will be June 10, 2017, at noon at Maplewood Presbyterian, 19523 84th Ave W. Edmonds, WA, off of 196th.
