Raymond Gene “Butch” Wilson, age 75, died on February 9, 2021. He was born on April 19, 1945 in Berlin to Lloyd and Margaret (Benson) Wilson.
Raymond grew up in the Omro Area. As a young man he worked at the Omro coal yard, Pure Ice in Oshkosh, and helped his dad with chores on the Keefe farm in Poygan. In later years he worked at Lakeside Packaging Plus in Oshkosh.
Raymond enjoyed gardening, pets, going on Lamers special needs bus tours, and drinking Pepsi. He could talk the ear off of anyone he met.
He is survived by two sisters: Sandy (David) Bushman of Appleton and Judy (Ken) Reimer of Omro. He is further survived by his sister-in-law, Bernadyne Wilson of Redgranite; seven nieces: Linda (Dave) Wallace, Joan (Steve) Rinaldi, Christine Nutt, Michelle (Lee) Moin, Marie (Brian) Olinger, Carie (Shannon) Lee and Theresa (Joel) Hofman; six nephews: David (Bonnie) Schenk, Larry (Shannon Johnson) Wilson, Conrad (Rachel Williams) Wilson, Todd Wilson, Troy Wilson and Dan Bushman; and two special aunts: Edith Shook and Ruth Benson. He was preceded in death by his parents, and brother, Larry.
Raymond developed Parkinson’s Disease later in life which led to a need for extra care. His family would like to thank the many health care workers who helped enrich his later years. Special thanks to Terry and Milan Mitrovic, and Bob.
