Peter Robert Wilson

Beloved husband of Judy K. Wilson, passed away November 17, 2015.
He was born in Sandusky, Ohio, April 15, 1938 to the late Robert H. Wilson and late Margaret Klotz Wilson. He was a graduate of John Muir High School in Pasadena, California, and received a Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering from Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1960. Peter retired from both Marshall Elevator and Otis Elevator.
Quick with a loud, hearty laugh, Peter was kind, honorable, and played the peacemaker when he wasn't telling a story or relaying a joke (some many times). A testament to his large personality are the many nicknames he gathered through the years: Peter "Cokalitis," "Low Ball" Wilson, "Scoop" Wilson, and "Kit-Kat King."
Peter was a Robinson Township Little League umpire for many years, and was proud of his work with the Robinson Township girls softball program and the many young women that he mentored through the years. He served as a deacon for Union United Presbyterian Church in Robinson Township. And created great memories of his years in Indian Guides with his son as Big Toad and Little Toad (they missed the meeting where names were given).
For all his enjoyment of people, it was rivaled by his love of animals, dogs in particular. While he may not have remembered the neighbors' names, he always knew every dog name in the neighborhood. Among his favorite four-legged friends were Spook, Prince and Sasha.
But family was always the most important part of his life. Peter is survived by his wife of fifty-one years, children Kelly L. Koval, Whitney W. (James) Helwick, Patrick R. (Carrie) Wilson, Heidy E. (Joseph) Wiggins, as well as grandchildren Jacob Helwick, Katelyn Helwick, Peter Wilson, Amelia Wilson, Nicholas Wiggins, and Noah Wiggins. He is survived by his brother Gregg E. (Maureen) Stark and also survived by several sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law and many nieces and nephews.

The family wishes to extend a heart-felt thank you to the staff of Vitas, which made Peter's last days comfortable.
