John Wilson

WILSON, John Robert July 31, 1957 – June 26, 2018 Sadly we announce the death of John Wilson, at home in Oshawa after a long illness. He will be remembered lovingly by his father, Jed Wilson (Sally), and sister Carolyn Wilson, and was predeceased by his mother, Jane Wilson. John spent a long career as a work leader at Dupont Canada and especially enjoyed working outdoors managing train deliveries to the plant. John treasured the friendship of many people from his childhood, work and outdoor activities. Many thanks to John Czepek; Barbara, Eileen and Margaret Egerer; Gary and Sue Heron; Brian Kot; Greg Kroetsch; Eldon Smith; Les, Patricia and Thom Waters; and Dave Verwoerd for years of good times and later support to allow John to stay in his home.
