He enjoyed watching all kinds of sports, especially football and was a huge Pittsburgh Steelers and Miami Dolphins fan. He hosted big Superbowl parties annually where he indulged in his second passion, food! He knew where to find the best food in the city and seemed to make friends wherever he went. Although he was never a wealthy man, Wilton was an extremely generous soul always there for friends and family, often offering his last to assist anyone in need. He had an incredible sense of humor, frequently engaged in witty banter with his loved ones and concocting clever nicknames for his nieces and nephews. Although he liked to maintain a tough-guy persona, Wilton loved animals, especially his dog Forest.
