Thomas William Wilson passed away, at the age of 90, on March 18th, 2015. He was born October 28th, 1924 in Bingham Canyon, Utah to Thomas Wilson and May Muir Wilson. He married Betty Jane Condie in the Salt Lake City Temple. Together they had seven children: Merry Jane Christensen (Tony), Louise Green (Steve), Bill Wilson (Diane), Shirley Stevens, Richard Wilson (Jodi), Sue Ann McAffee (Craig), Jim Wilson. After Betty passed away, Bill married Shirley Christensen. Thru this union he gained a second family and loved them as his own: Maxine Barnes, Pam & Kirby Justesen, Keelee & Kevin Powell, Ron and Janae Christensen. Dad was a Master Carpenter and a member of the Carpenter Union. Dad worked in that trade his entire life. He could fix anything and passed that ability on to his children. He was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints and served in many leadership callings; one of his favorite being the coach of the Young Men’s softball team. Dad is survived by his children and also 44 grandchildren, 89 great grandchildren and one great great grandchild. He is also survived by sister-in-laws Maxine Christensen, June Condie and Joan Condie and brother-in-law Paul Condie (Pat). Dad is preceded in death by his first wife Betty Wilson, daughter Merry Jane Christensen, Sister Shirley Blair (Harold), Jim Condie and Earl Condie. Dad would love contributions made to the LDS Church perpetual education fund in lieu of flowers.
