The family of MWO George Wayne Wilson CD (Ret’d), beloved husband of Jennifer (Davies) of Westville, regret to announce his sudden passing on Tuesday, July 11, 2017 at the Aberdeen Hospital, New Glasgow.
He was born in Stellarton, April 27, 1946 to the late George and Laurina (Rushton) Wilson of Stellarton.
After George graduated from Stellarton High School he went on to have a rewarding 31 year career with the Canadian Air Force having Peace Keeping duties in the Golan Heights.
George and family enjoyed postings to Ottawa, Ont; Cold Lake, Alta; Lahr, Germany (where they travelled all over Europe); Moncton, NB; Summerside, PEI; Halifax, NS; Oromocto, NB, retiring at the early age of 48 years with a career span of 1964-1995.
Upon retirement, George chose a second career to drive Chartered Buses for his son-in-law at Mac Tours Inc. and Ambassatours of Halifax, NS. He was an avid outdoors man who enjoyed hunting, fishing, 4 wheeling, and spending time at Kevin’s Camp with family and friends. He had a passion for wood working that he inherited from his father.
