Mr. Wilson (Pop) was a good man and a true Christian in everyway. He loved his children, his church family and his friends. Rest in Peace good and faithful servant.
To the Ms. Judy, and the rest of the family: Mr. Wilson was such a good neighbor in the community! When my husband was doing small gardens, he would get Mr. Wilson to plow it for him. They would have long talks before he’d leave to go home. My fondest memories of him would be to pass his house and see him sitting under his carport with his little dog! We also bought collards greens from him. Mr. Wilson was a very engaging man with conversation, so you had to leave, even though you didn’t want to. (Smile)
Our sincere condolences. May God’s everlasting love, strengthen, and uplifts your hearts. May the love he had for you, and the memories you shared with him, be a comfort to you now, and in the days ahead. “Rest in heavenly peace Mr. Wilson.”
With fond memories,
Herman & Sylvia McCrimmon

Judy & family, I am Joe Wood ‘s Mom, Brenda & I’ve known your Dad a long time. Mr. Willie will be missed so much. He was truly an artist as a bricklayer as well as his tending his yard & garden but his best work was his Faithfulness to our Heavenly Father and being the Christian Husband and Father that he was. He truly lived his Faith. My Love to all of you. He Loved his family.
The family is in my prayers and thoughts! May God wrap his arms around you and hold you tightly!❤️
