Willson was a devoted and active member of Varina Nazarene Church for 25 years. After retiring from Dupont, he began doing mission work all over the world. He helped lead many people to Christ and built schools, orphanages and churches from Ethiopia to South America. He touched so many lives and was loved by all that knew him. He was a devoted husband and father, always putting his family first. The family would like to thank Dad's oncology team, Dr. Mark Malkin, Lauren, Rebecca and Bon Secours Hospice for the love and support through his battle. We are blessed to know that Dad is home with his beloved Edie once again.
