Wilson made a career producing wood chips and pulpwood in northern Michigan. Hardworking and dedicated to his customers, Wilson owned and operated Quality Chips until his retirement in 1999. A lifelong resident of northern Michigan, Wilson enjoyed the outdoors. He enjoyed boating and was an avid fisherman and hunter. And though he enjoyed hunting, he had a greater passion for feeding the wildlife. He kept the birds, deer, and other small animals well-fed and enjoyed watching them as they came to his yard to eat. He loved to read, was a skilled woodworker and enjoyed going to the casino. Compassionate and kind, Wilson cared for his wife, Carolyn, during the many years of her failing health. He was good-hearted, cared about his family, as well as helped others in need.
