William Alfred Wilson

William Alfred Wilson, 90 of Danville, died on January 1, 2024. Born on October 23, 1933, in Boyle County, KY to the late Martin and Eva Wilson.

A hardworking individual, Alfred pursued a successful career as a salesman in the oil refinery industry, leaving a significant impact on those he encountered.
