John B. Wilson, age 87, of Janesville, passed away on Saturday, November 9, 2019 at Mercy Hospital. He was born in Lake Mills, Wisconsin on August 7, 1932, the son of John C. and Iva (Hopper) Wilson. John honorably served the nation first in the United States Navy during the Korean conflict and a few decades later with the Wisconsin Army National Guard. John loved his country and was strong in his dedication and political views. He married the love of his life, Margaret I. Wilson on August 4, 1954, and she preceded him in death on January 3, 2000 after 47 full and memorable years together. John was married to his second wife, Dolores on October 12, 2002, and they shared 17 wonderful years, enjoying their time traveling to destinations in the lower 48 States and through Canada. John was a faithful and devoted member of the First Baptist Church in Janesville, as well as the VFW Post 1621, the American Legion Post 209, and the Teamsters Local 579. He was also a Scoutmaster for Boy Scout Troop 222 for several years. John participated in various military activities, including being a commander at the local 32nd Division Red Arrow Club and taking the opportunity to travel to Washington, D.C. with the VetsRoll organization. John retired from Janesville Auto Transport Co. (JATCO) where he had been a truck driver for decades. He was an avid hunter and fisherman, both of which brought him tremendous pleasure and peace. He spent many weekends at his cabin in Webster, Wisconsin, and always looked forward to enjoying time there with family and friends. John was a tirelessly caring, generous, and helpful man, and would immediately come to the aid of family, friends, neighbors, or even someone he didn’t know. John was quick to laugh, and was appreciated and admired by countless people. John is survived by his wife; 3 children; Dolores’ children; 10 grandchildren; and 5 great grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his parents; first wife, Margaret Wilson; granddaughter, Sarah Taormino; and six sisters and two brothers.
