Wilton grew up hunting, fishing, trapping, gator hunting and was a boat pilot. 
He was a joy to be around and loved telling stories of his life. Wilton Sr. was 
also Paw Paw to many other children who came in and out of his life. They loved 
him dearly. He taught many things to all who came into his life over the years

preceded him in death earlier this year.
