It is with great sadness we announce the passing of William (Billy) Wilson MØBWI on 11th April 2026 aged 82.
Loving Father to Billy, Father in Law to Angela and devoted Granda to Scarlett and Vinnie. A special and treasured Uncle to many.

A celebration of Billy's life will be held at South Shields Crematorium on Friday 15th May 2026 at 10.30am.
All are welcome who knew him and Donations can be made at the service to The Mission to Seafarers if desired.
Keep smiling Dad, we'll remember you always.
