I had the opprotunity of knowing Mr Wilson by way of the LB Rescue mission winter shelter program. Mr Wilson was one of the nicest Man to ever stay at the Winter Shelter Program.Mr Wilson was one of the most caring , compassionate and giving person I have meet through the W.S.P. He didnt deserve to die that way. May he rest in peace.
