BRIAN JOHN WILSON 1937 2011 Peacefully on November 2, 2011, at the Oakview Nursing Home, Brian was taken from us due to Alzheimers. Brian is survived by his loving wife Valerie of 50 years, son Jeff, daughter Susan, brother Kevin (Wendy), sister-in-law Dorothy in England, nieces and nephews in England, and Angela and Samantha in Calgary. Brian was predeceased by his mother Sarah and father Arthur Wilson. Brian and his family immigrated to Canada in 1967, from England. Brian came to Canada to make a better life for his family. He started working for Bristol Aerospace in 1967, and worked until 1970, then made his profession as a machine shop instructor at Red River Community College until he retired in 1999. Brian enjoyed playing golf with his friends, reading a good book, mainly having time with his family, walking his special friend Benji, and watching his favorite football team, Manchester United. A memorial service will be held on Friday, November 25, 2011, at 2:00 p.m. at Chapel Lawn Funeral Home, 4000 Portage Ave. The family wishes to give special thanks to Loree Simcox for her kindness to Brian during my little getaways. Also to Maureen and Terry Lynn for their very special care for Brian. Thank you to Nivean and staff of 2 north at Oakview Place for all their special care and attention they all gave to Brian; I can't thank you enough.
