Leland "Lee" Fredrick Wilson, age 86, of Hull, died Jan. 30.
Mr. Wilson graduated from Governor Dummer Academy in 1947 and subsequently enrolled at Harvard University, where he studied political science. He left college to enlist in the Air Force for four years, serving during the Korean War. He returned to Harvard and graduated in 1956.
Upon graduation, Mr. Wilson went to work for the New England Telephone Company, where he spent the next 33 years of his career. There, he met Helen [Hutchinson] Wilson, with whom he enjoyed over 50 years of marriage.
Lee lived on the South Shore for many years in Cohasset, Scituate and Hull. He was an avid sportsman and his love for sports was passed on to his children and grandchildren. He was a New England Patriots season ticketholder since their first game, enduring the lean years and finally rewarded with multiple Super Bowls. He enjoyed the camaraderie of his long-term friends at their legendary cookouts, whether it was tailgating at a Harvard or Patriots football game. He had a passion for golf and was a longtime member of Cohasset Golf Club and cherished his friendships with fellow golf members and staff who were so kind to him.
Mr. Wilson leaves his children: Barbara Bearden of Hull, Lee and Ellen Wilson of Jupiter, Fla., and Elizabeth and Brett Blauner of Valparaiso, Indiana. He is also survived by 13 grandchildren, whom he cared for deeply. They affectionately called him Papa. He also had three sisters, Mary, Natalie, and Priscilla.
Mr. Wilson will be missed for his humor, which he kept to the very end. Special thanks to the staff at the Cardigan Nursing and Rehabilitation Center for taking such great care of him.
