Don was born in Winchester on Dec. 30, 1934, along with his twin
brother Doug, to the late Hugh and Violet Wilson (nee McCourtie).
Don remained a resident of Winchester all of his life. He worked
for over 35 years for the federal government as a cartographer
and was a life long member of St. Paul's Presbyterian Church.
Don is survived by his wife Donna Wilson (nee Allison), his two
daughters, Karen (Stephen MacDonald) and Alayne (Tom Hicks) and
by his grandchildren, Adam, Aaron, Kathryn, and Kaleb MacDonald,
and Tommy and Rebecca Hicks. He will be sadly missed by his brother
Jack (Evah), his sister Lois (Jack Smith) and by his twin brother
Doug (Myrna). He was also dear uncle to many nieces and nephews.
Visitation was held at the Winchester Funeral Home on Jan, 24,
2006. The funeral service was held at St. Paul's Presbyterian
Church on Jan. 25 at 11:00 am. Rev. Dr. Floyd McPhee delivered
a fitting tribute to a full church remembering Don as a good faithful,
generous man. Burial followed at Maple Ridge Cemetery in Chesterville.
A reception was held at the church hall and was enjoyed by all.
Pallbearers were Bill Sherwood, Jorris Zubatuk, George Edwardson,
Bob Geggie, Neil Gardiner, and John Dumoulin.
