It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of James Paul Wilson at the age of 73 years on Wednesday, September 30, 2015 at the Dr. L.A. Miller Centre. Born on Merasheen Island, Placentia Bay in 1942, Paul was a Marine Engineer. His life's work and love of the sea brought him to many places all over the world, and earned him friends from every walk of life. Though he travelled to many places in his lifetime, none ever compared to "home". He was a lover of books, crossword puzzles and music. Paul's family and friends will miss his storytelling, quick wit and humor. He is predeceased by his parents Paul and Jane Wilson, brothers Ernie (Myrtle), Gerald (Clara) and sisters Christina (John Rose), Alice (Paddy White), Carmel (Pat McCabe), Wilhelmina (Rick Reichlmayr) Grace (John Weeks), and brother-in-law Edward Bruce. Paul is survived by his loving daughter, Jennifer and her husband, Touly (Phiachantharath); her mother, Lillian; his sisters Laura (Alfred Goss) and Agnes Bruce; nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, friends and family too numerous to mention but not forgotten. Visitation will take place at Caul's Funeral Home, on Thursday, October 1, 2015 from 5-9 p.m. Funeral Mass to take place at The Basilica on Friday, October 2, 2015 at 9:30 a.m. with private inurnment to follow at a later date. Jennifer and Lillian would like to express sincerest thanks to the many family and friends for all their phone calls and countless hours spent visiting Paul during his illness. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you consider a donation to the local SPCA in his memory, as he believed that dogs made the finest of friends.
