Michael David Wilson

Michael David Wilson died Saturday, February 22, in Hackensack, New Jersey. Born August 23, 1950, in Ann Arbor, Michigan and raised in Staten Island. He was the son of the late William A. Wilson and MaryAnn Wilson (née Lake). Mike was a graduate of Xavier High School and New York University. He later received his law degree from Seton Hall Law School and retired from Hill Rivkins LLP after practicing maritime law for over thirty-five years. His career took him around the world, where he indulged in his love for different cultures, music and cuisines. He often brought his children and wife along on his travels so that he could share his love for certain cities.

Mike’s pursuit of learning never ended. You could always find him reading a new book, doing Sudoku puzzles or breezing through the New York Times Sunday crossword. He was an avid Yankees fan, loved riding around in his 1961 Corvette, and enjoyed good food with family and friends.
