Obituary
WILSON, Lewis “Jak”…
Lewis “Jak” Wilson of Windsor, Ontario passed peacefully in hospital in London, Ontario on January 22, 2025 in his 79th year. Jak dearly loved his children Sean Wilson, Shannon Wilson and Ian Hofer, and was the proudest “Gumpa” of his grandkids Erik (Megan), William (Kacie), James and Kate Hofer. Jak was the beloved brother of the late Connie Gilbert of Windsor and Barbara Cotton of Barrie, and will be greatly missed by siblings Jeff Wilson of Windsor, David and wife Shelly Wilson of Barrie, and Beth Brown of Sarnia. Jak adored his nieces and nephews Jacqueline and Paul, David and Shelley, Bob and Jess, Matt and Staci, Meredith and Chris, Greg and Allison, Leslie and Glenn, Taylor, and Erin, and he was immensely proud of his wonderful great-nieces and nephews.
Jak was an avid planner and will be remembered for his organization of student and alumni events at Vincent Massey Secondary School in Windsor, and community events for his friends and neighbours at the Marshall Street Apartments in London. Jak’s life passion was being a coach, and his memories will continue on the football fields and golf courses of Windsor and London.
Cremation has taken place. In accordance with Jak’s wishes, there will be no visitation. Friends and guests are invited to join the family for a memorial service on Friday, February 7, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. in the A. Millard George Funeral Home, 60 Ridout Street South, London. Donations may be made to SickKids Foundation in memory of Jak’s beloved granddaughter Kate. Online condolences, memories and photographs shared at www.amgfh.com
