Obituary
BRISTOL — Mr. Randy L. Wilson, 62, of Bristol, passed away peacefully at his home at 6:15 a.m. Friday, Jan. 8, following a brief illness.
He was born in Elkhart on Oct. 30, 1953, to the late Homer and Marian (Bunch) Wilson, and later married Sharon K. Wenger on Oct. 16, 1976, in Elkhart. She survives him at home.
Also surviving are son Michael (Nicole Shively) Wilson of Bristol; daughter Tara Wilson of Bristol; brother Ron (Margaret) Wilson of Roberts, Wis.; sisters Patricia "Diann" (Ted) Wallace of Columbia City, Sue (Bob) Jones of LaGrange and Tanya (Chris) Wedge of Goshen; and grandchildren Joclynn, Austin, Leah, Avery and Macie.
Randy worked at Vincent Bach of Elkhart for more than 20 years, then went on to work at Warren Mfg. of White Pigeon, Mich., until he retired in 2014 due to health reasons. He was a lifelong resident of the Indiana Lake neighborhood and loved sailing, fishing and cruising around in his pontoon boat with his beloved dog Sassy. He also was a classic car enthusiast and quite the History Channel buff, but he will best be remembered for his love and mentoring of his precious grandchildren.
Randy's life will be celebrated beginning with a visitation at 4 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 12, at Billings Funeral Home, followed by a funeral service at 6 p.m. Pastor Larry Smith of the Calvary United Methodist Church of Elkhart will officiate.
