What can I say other than Mr Wilson was an Phenomenon example of Wonderful. He was such a Humble,Smart,Educated man as a whole. To all his students he taught you can bet another how old we were if we meet or see him anywhere you can bet he will know your whole name. And remember what grade you were when he taught you. What a blessing Mr Wilson was giving such a blessed and Loving life. He fulfilled it well turning 100 in Dec,2022. You can't get any better than that. He was such a loving ,caring and kind hearted family man,friend and truly loved the Church he attended and his members he was attending until his health failed. Mr Wilson you were One of a Kind and you can never be replaced. We will miss seeing those smiles you give and the love in your eyes when we saw you. You have earned your wings and God knows a Good and Faithful Servant he created. Rest on Mr Wilson. You had lived your Best Life and you always say "You have No Regrets" that God was good to you.RIP🙏

Mr. Wilson was an extraordinary education who left a lifelong impression on me and my siblings. He was very loved and appreciated. They don't make teachers like him anymore. He not only remembered me each time I saw him, he always asked about siblings that he taught as well. A wonderful man!
