WITH DEEP DEEP REGRETS, we announce the passing of Alphonso "Buddy Wilson.   

Buddy passed on to the grace of the Lord on June 13, 2006. He had been experiencing ill health for some time.

Buddy Wilson, born in the city of Panama, brought up in the old Canal Zone townsite of La Boca, graduated from the La Boca Occupational High School in 1955.

He was another of the originals of the 1956 firefighters, trained and worked on the Pacific side, he was a very precise worker, as a Driver Operator, he knew all the operational proceedures of the fire engine and could explain all in simple words to the rookies, who he was always willing to help. He continued to be the same willing person as an Officer of the Division, at the rank of a Sergeant.

Buddy retired from the CZFD. After retirement, he moved to the US city of New York, where he worked as a fire inspector for the city. Again he assisted many of the other retired firefighters to obtain positions as fire inspectors in New York. After leaving NY he went on to live in Florida.  

The yearly Firefighters Reunion was "must" for Buddy. While in good health, he attended them all.

Our condolences go out to his wife, Mrs. Harriette Wilson, his children, Luanna Straker, Ronna Worrell, Arturo Wilson and Ilka Chavez.

The wake is Sunday 18th and the funeral on Monday 19th.

May Buddy Wilson's soul rest in peace.
