WILSON, Dale Burton, age 63, of Kingston ~ It is with great sadness and broken hearts that we the family announce the passing of Dale Burton Wilson, on Wednesday, October 22, 2014 in the Valley Regional Hospital, Kentville, after a brief battle with lung cancer. Born in Windsor, on August 30, 1951, he was the youngest of the 11 children of the late Carl Douglas and Linda Kathleen (Whitehead) Wilson. Dale was an electrician by trade and was a proud retired member of local 625 and the International IBEW union. He loved plying his trade which took him to numerous cities, provinces and states, and gave him many experiences, stories and friendships. Dale also had obtained an architectural draftsmen certificate. Dale was fond of music and could often be heard singing along as he worked or played. He also enjoyed trout fishing, woodworking, travel, and just sitting back reminiscing about how the older folks taught him about life and living. He valued respect and honesty, and tried to install that in others. He enjoyed sports and had played and coached baseball and hockey in the past. He also had a passion for golf, which he shared with his wife. Dale was a good man who wanted the best for his family, always wanting to help others and will be sadly missed by all.
