Raised in Peabody, Tom was the eldest of three sons of the late William J. Sr. and Helen A. (Zaksheski) Wilson.  Tom grew up in Peabody where he attended local schools, and graduated from Peabody High School where he played tackle on the High School Football team.

He attended East Coast Aero Technical and worked as an aircraft engine mechanic for TWA, and American Airlines in Boston and finished his career with American Airlines in St. Louis MO.  Working for the airlines gave Tom the opportunity to travel to many destinations, however he favored going to Jamica where he made many lifetime friends.

He made Topsfield his hometown and has resided there since 1976.  Tom was married to Eileen M. (Barry) and was devoted to his quiet unassuming home life together with his wife.  As a young man he helped his uncle in building a sailboat and later he and a friend built his own sailboat he named the "Sundown".

Tom is lovingly survived by his beloved wife of 45 years Eileen M. Wilson at home in Topsfield. And he was the dear brother of Stephen K. Wilson and his wife Kathy, William J. Wilson, Jr. and his wife Deborah, all of Peabody.  Cherished uncle of Andrea Margareci and her husband Michael, Christopher Wilson, Shannon Wilson-Cutone and her husband Christopher, and Matthew Halliday, and great uncle to Elora, and Andrew Margareci, and Brooke Cutone.
