Lionel Wilson
OBITUARY
Lionel Wilson passed away on Sunday, June 28th at the age of 92. He was born in Wenatchee, Washington, but moved around the midwest, from Montana to Illinois to Michigan to Indiana.
Lionel graduated from Purdue University in 1956, with a Bachelor of Science in Aeronautical Engineering. After graduation, Lionel moved to San Diego to work for General Dynamics/Convair. Lionel finished the last part of his 34 year career, working for Raytheon.
Lionel was a hard, diligent worker, but also enjoyed watching and playing sports and was actively involved in the Fletcher Hills Tennis Club and Convair Ski Club. He was also a DIY guy before it was so popular-planting lawns, building retaining walls, retiling bathrooms and more.
Lionel was preceded in death by his wife, Judith Marienthal Wilson. He is survived by his sister, Geraldine Alleman, his children, son Mitch and his wife Brenda, and his daughter Gail and her husband, John, and four grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
