I knew "Jim" as Mr. Wilson. I was his first son-in-law. An Iconic figure in my life and a stellar example of a proud American. My family can never give enough thanks to the Wilson family for thier unselfish acceptance of us after my Mother was killed so many years ago. Mr. Wilson took me in like his own son. He taught me how to fish, and still is with me when I fish now. He showed me how much fun bowling is and would've been proud of some of my high scores. Way more than a Father-in-law he was a true buddy, a pal. I deeply regret that I didn't have an opportunity to talk to him again. He didn't carry his emotions on his sleeve, but I know he Loved my brothers and sisters. He didn't have to say so......Mr. Wilson I will miss you.
