In Loving Memory

 

Mr. Roland Wilson of Delhi, passed away at the Joseph Brant Hospital, Burlington, on Wednesday, December 29, 2021 in his 83rd year. Roland lived in the Delhi area all his life where he farmed tobacco and later in life worked at Vanden Bussche Irrigation and the warehouse. He could be found every morning having coffee at the local Tim Horton’s and buying his lottery tickets at Dave’s variety. Roland was a Member of the Royal Canadian Legion where he played pool and darts. He had friends who were teenagers to friends who were in their 90’s. He was commonly heard talking to a young person he just met saying “Who’s your grandfather - do I know him”?  Roland loved to visit with anyone and everyone. “Rolly” will be sadly missed by all his friends & family. Beloved husband of the Late Barbara (LaFerreire) Wilson (2017). Loving father of Donna Koncir, Dave Wilson (Annette), Scott Wilson (Lisa) and Charles Wilson.

Predeceased by his siblings: Laverne Wilson (2002), Marjory Barnes (1950) and Joyce Ann Wilson (1948) and by his grandson, Nicholas Koncir (1987).
