John Melvin Wilson Jr.

He grew up and went to school in Boistfort, Washington. He enjoyed playing football and baseball and was one of the high school’s last graduating classes. John served in the Army during the Vietnam War. John was “Hands On!” He spent much of his life working on a dairy farm. On a good day, John and his son would be out working the farm together. John worked in the freezer at Mc Cains Foods for ten plus years before retiring sometime before 1998. His hobbies included fishing, hunting, camping, and riding Quads. He also enjoyed anything that got him out in mother nature including just taking a quiet moment with his daughter to enjoy the sound of rocks being moved down steam by a creek.

John Wilson died January 19, 2012, at his home in Warden, Washington.
