Posted Tuesday, September 28, 2021 6:00 am ALCOLU - Thomas Reese Wilson Jr., 97, widower of Margaret Leonora McFaddin Wilson, died on Friday, Sept. 24, 2021, at McLeod Health Clarendon.

Thomas attended Clemson College until called to serve his country in World War II as an Army drill sergeant.

His love for the outdoors led to shared farming and hunting enterprises: Wilson Brothers Farm (John J., partner) and Nelson-Wilson Hunting Club (cousin Edgar Nelson, partner). Life's simple pleasures of loving your neighbor and family, fishing, Clemson football, a good Western and good food brought a lifetime of joy and contentment.
