Donald Roy WILSON

Donald Roy WILSON peacefully passed away at home on Friday, February 27, 2026, in his 96th year. He is survived by his loving wife, Elsie, of 71 years; and his sons, Donald Carl (Lee) and Joseph Brett. Proud father and grandfather to Heather Wilson (Jake), Alanna Wilson (Adam), Connor Wilson, and cherished great-grandfather to Damon James Turl. He will also be remembered by his nieces and nephews, family, and friends. Don was predeceased by his parents, George Washington Wilson and Laureen Ethel May Wilson; his twin brother, Ron Wilson; and his sisters, Marilyn Whiteside and Leona. Don started work at a young age with a paper route in Toronto and didn't stop till the year before his passing. His many and varied business ventures included welding, scrap metal, sales, structural steel installation and estimating, a model airplane company (Easy Built Models), and, in his later years, a Bass and Balsa Wood Supply Company. Don had several interests outside of work, including being an avid golfer and curler, and later, carving wooden carousel horses after visiting the Herschell Carousel Museum. He completed several projects, including two large horses that were made into rocking horses for his grandchildren to ride. At his request, cremation has taken place, and a memorial service will be held at a later date. Memorial donations can be made to the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum or to Diabetes Canada.
