Your dad did pretty good considering. I sure hope to live that long in half decent health. My dad is Canadian born and has been to the UK a couple times to visit the Wilsons I believe. I'll have to ask him more about that as well as Ronald's sister. Yes, he's well taken care of at the home thanks. In 2003 I was in the UK for a six week job at British Gypsum (East Leake site) outside of Nottingham. I didn't see the sun the entire time I was there. However, the food, bitters and people were top notch. I hope you're doing well, and enjoying, dare I say, your retirement? When I have more time I'll have to read some of your posts. Take care.

It's a Pleasure. I do hope your Dad is happy where he is . Hopefully being well cared for . Good job it is just his memory failing and not Dementia which is horrible, my Dad had it for a couple of years before he died at 90. You will be keeping Dad's  mind active with the info .Enjoy your visits with him. Was your Dad from England or Canadian born?

Hi Grandarog, excellent work. I will ask my dad about Ronald's sister.
He died in 1966??? I will reveal this to my dad as I'm not sure he even knows this. Obviously this was not the gentleman I remembered as a lad. I now realize I was only two years old when he passed away. My dad had several friends from the UK, I think I'm mixing up Ronald Lewis Wilson with another Englishman. But for sure Ronald was the good friend of my dad's. That signature I posted was from his bible that he gave my mom on his last visit to Canada. He also gave my dad an album of stamps from around the work which I now have. Well sir, I'm not sure if there is more to be found on Ronald, but I sure appreciate all you've done.

grandarog:
As you say Reg was more documented than Ron. You were right about him and Trinidad .

Hello Grandarog. This is very good. I guess there is much more about about Reginald than Ronald out there. Although my dad's memory is deteriorating, it's pretty good when he's on his A-Game. I wonder where he got the address 44 St. James Road, Tunbridge Wells from? So Ronald actually lived at the Sevenoaks address that you mentioned earlier? There are no records about Free mason members? I'll ask my dad more questions next time I visit him at the long term care home. Many thanks!
