Phillip Lee Wilson

Phillip Lee Wilson, 60, of rural Frankfort, died September 23, 2011 at St Vincent’s hospital in Indianapolis from a complicated case of Lymphoma.  The rapid physical decline ending in Phil’s death is a terrible shock to all who knew and loved him.  He was born on January 2, 1951 to Kay (Huff) Wilson Jones and Herman Dwight (Tiny) Wilson at Clinton County Hospital.
Phil graduated from Rossville High School in 1969; where he played on a legendary basketball team that went to the Semi-finals. While in high school, Phil also earned the rank of Eagle Scout.   Phil attended Purdue University and Ball State University before entering the business in 1976. He demonstrated unflagging support for his family, church and community.  As an adult, he was a Boy Scout leader, Elder, Trustee, and life-long member of Geetingsville Presbyterian Church.  
Wilson operated the WLC Company, a family business that started in 1936, in Sedalia, Indiana.  Though the business started by supplying the small family farm;  a variety of other equipment such as cooling fans, pressure washers, hoses and hydraulics were added as small farms declined.  
Phil also found a rock-solid partner in his wife of 27 years Barbara Anderson Wilson, who joined him in business and in parenting two children from his previous marriage and the three she brought into the marriage.
Phil is preceded in death by his father, a brother Maj. Alan Wilson, and step-son Phillip Todd Williams.
