Robert “Bob” Edward Wilson, longtime resident of Greenwich, Connecticut, passed away on Friday, November 24, 2023. He was 81 years old. Born in Greenwich, he was the son of Ruth and Edward Wilson. He attended Greenwich High School, then went onto Allegheny College in Pennsylvania. He received his Masters in Business at New York University and served in the United States Army during Vietnam.

Bob devoted much of his time serving the community he loved so much, volunteering at the Hill House, The United Way of Greenwich and the Byram Archibald Neighborhood Center. As a young man, he was an avid runner and later in life developed a passion for gardening. He spent many happy hours at Tod’s Point sipping red wine with his wife Janet by his side.
