Robert Grant "Skip" Wilson born Oct.9, 1935 in Detroit, Michigan passed away
Sept. 10 2011 at the Togus VA Medical Ctr. in Augusta, Maine. He left a wife,
Isabella whom he met by way of a penpal column in a Hobby Builder's Supply
catalog, chatting about dollhouses and miniatures. They struck up a
long-distance friendship and after a while, he decided to go visit her. He could
only stay about a week and then had to return to Mt. Clemens. After he had gone
back home,  he realized he wanted to return to Maine and to Isabella and come
spring, she came out to Michigan for a few days to help him pack up bag, baggage
(and a couple of dollhouses) for the car trip to Auburn, Maine. They were
married in 2000 at Moose Point State Park. His interest in building dollhouses
turned into a short stint as a co-administrator of a dollhouse museum, and a
passion for woodworking, carving and burning. He excelled at fretwork and sold
many pieces. He was also a scale model railroader and maintained a membership in
a model railroad club for several years. He was a testament to chasing your
dreams no matter what stage of life you may be in - because you might actually
catch some of them...

Additional Comments:
Just to let folks in Mount Clemens know what became of one of their native sons.
