WILSON, Fraser Ernest “Ernie” – 86, Bible Hill, passed away on Sunday, May 27, 2018, at Colchester East Hants Health Centre, Truro. Born in Port Hope, Ontario, he was a son of the late William Lawrence Wilson, who died prior to Ernie’s birth in 1932, and the late Spray Minnie (Massey) Wilson. Ernie passed on his love of sports and the Toronto Maple Leafs to his sons. He was a generous spirit who never said no to anyone asking a favor. Ernie had a hard beginning in life as his father passed away prior to his birth and he was raised by his mom and his uncle. At a young age he sailed the Great Lakes as a cabin boy/cook where ship’s captains taught him to play crib and checkers; it was tough to impossible to beat him at either. In his late teens he joined the army and served his country for over 28 years before semi-retiring to join Commissionaires in Truro. His last career was as a taxi driver, professionally as well as socially, to anyone that ever needed a drive anywhere at any time. Ernie is survived by his wife, Maryann (Delaney); sons, Bill, Brian, Tim; grandsons, Ryan and Logan. Along with his parents, he was predeceased by his brother, Samuel; sister, Irene Dorothy Wilson. Private family interment has been held in Onslow Island Cemetery, Reverend Donna Lawrence officiated. If so desired, donations in Ernie’s memory to Lung Association of Nova Scotia are welcomed. Arrangements have been entrusted to Mattatall – Varner Funeral Home, 55 Young Street, Truro.
