He loved to fish, travel and sightsee and he loved Gospel singing. Though he could not hear or talk, his communications using signs and gestures kept his caregivers in tune with his needs. Despite his confinement and the injustice perpetrated upon him, Mr. Wilson remained steadfastly optimistic and serene in his demeanor. He will be missed by a host of present and former Cherry Hospital staff and residents, as well as by his special friend, Mr. Everett Parker.
