Joseph W. Wilson

Joseph W. Wilson, 82, of Louisville, passed away peacefully into the hands of his Savior on the morning of April 4, 2015, with his loving family by his side. He was a retiree of Ford Motor Company as an engineer, and an Air Force Veteran of the Korean War.

Joe belonged to the VFW Post #1298; was a 4th degree in the Knights of Columbus; a Kentucky Colonel; and a "Official Trinketer" who loved tinkering around the house. You never saw him without 3x5 index cards and a pen to write with just in case he had notes to take. He was the glue to his family for sure.

Left cherishing his memory is his devoted wife of 55 years, Elizabeth Bacher Wilson; children, Judy Moore (Dennis), Mimi Milby (Harold), Barbie Williams (Marty), Patty Story (Rick) and William Wilson (Laurie). Also surviving is his brother Gene Wilson (Vera) and 8 grandchildren, Jenny (Darren), Ashley, E.J., Mechelle (Brad), A.J. (Ashley), Rodney, Stephen, Megan; and 8 great-grandchildren, Riley, Grace, Landon, Zander, Ziva, Ben, Alexa and Abram.
