Condolences
I was so sorry to hear that
I was so sorry to hear that my very good and life long friend Bill Wilson had passed away. Bill was a great man and I was so lucky to have many fun times with him. We bowled together for years and he was my partner in the Dupont tournament and Pennsylvania State Tournament for decades. I have so many happy memories that I will never forget.
My condolences to Virginia, Mark. and the family. Tom Downing

Mrs. Wilson, Mark and family - I was so sad to hear of the passing of Bill. I remember going to the bowling alley to watch him and my dad bowl. What an awesome man and I'm fortunate to have stories that will live on forever. His name is often brought up at the bowling alley now. My theoughts and prayers are with you all
