Dear Mrs. Wilson and Family,
I am remembering Mr. Wilson fondly and all the wonderful memories working summers at 'the Corral' - his crazy jokes, words of wisdom and dedicated work ethic, so many great memories. Wishing you all peace, 'Missy Chan'

Virginia & Family,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. The World is not as bright as it was when Bill was in it. I attended "The Bill Wilson School for Boys" many years ago when I worked for him. I went to work for Bill in 1985. In many ways, Bill was like a father to me, I always looked up to him. Many young men have worked for Mr. Wilson and learned a good trade in the process. He was a Master Mason, the very best and liked by everyone who knew him. Bill was a man that had a good moral compass, a man with integrity and a deep desire to share his knowledge with others. He always was quick to tell a joke and he loved puzzling questions about how things work, mind bending games & trinketts. Bill Wilson was a Great Man and I will miss him. The hope that we have is when we are finally called to be with the Lord, we will see Bill again.
Sincerely,
George Lewis
