John M. Wilson, 68, of North Rose, passed away Friday, June 17, 2022. He was born in Lyons, son of the
late Charles and Lorraine Wagner Wilson. He enlisted and was in the USAF for 4 years. He was employed
as a test technician at (IEC) Creation Technologies for nearly 40 years, where he "got paid to shoot
trouble". He loved his work, his special coffee, greeting neighbors on his walks around town, but most of
all his grandchildren.
He is predeceased by his son, Robert "BJ" O'Connor, brother-in-law, John Bousquin, and sister-in-law,
Linda Wilson.
Survived by his wife, Millie Henninger Wilson, children, Adam O'Connor, Elaina (Robert) Morales,
Michael (Morgan) O'Connor, TresaAnn O'Connor, Jacqualyn (Luis) Delgado, Robert O'Connor Jr., and
Taylor O'Connor, brothers, Jim (Sharon) Wilson, Scot (Sally) Wilson, Kevin Wilson, and Brian (Joyce)
Wilson, sisters, Charlene (Bob) Clements, and Vicki Bousquin, 13 grandchildren, as well as several nieces
and nephews. His wings were ready, but our hearts were not. John will be deeply missed.

Funeral Home, North Rose. For those wishing to make contributions in John's name in lieu of flowers
