Obituary

Allan Clarence Wilson, born April 18, 1928 to Clarence and Ruth Wilson in Milaca, MN. Allan passed away peacefully on February 20, 2017. He was a loving son, brother, husband, father, uncle and grandpa. Survived by his children, Robert (Katrina) Wilson, Gary K.

Allan grew up on the family dairy farm in Milaca. Attended the University of Minnesota, majoring in Agriculture. He served in the U.S. Army (Sergeant) in the Korean War. Allan was a Sales Manager for Economics Laboratory, a position that brought him to Canada in 1959. He also worked as a Financial Planner for Great Pacific Management. Once retired, he decided to take a “temporary position” with U.S. Homeland Security and was an Immigration Officer stationed at the Pt. Roberts Border for over 15 years.
Residing in Delta, BC and having a summer home in Sudden Valley, WA, Allan loved to be outside working in his yard at both homes, and will be remembered fondly for his beautiful flower gardens and his delicious tomatoes. We will miss him dearly.

    I am thinking of all of you during this time of sorrow and new beginning. As mentioned, it was an honor to have known your dad. A wonderful man in more ways than can be described. As you look in the mirror, a little bit of him (as well as your mom) will be shining back at you knowing they contributed to who you are today. You are so fortunate to have had him in your lives for so long. I would consider this a true blessing.
