Wilson, and his wife Siobhan Powers of Rhode Island, along with nine grandchildren; Steven, Jacob, Erica, Clifford, Gregory, Robert, Ryan, Lile, and Tessa. He also leaves his brother, Charles Wilson, and his sisters, Carol Rixen and Mary Leblanc. He was born in and grew up in Gardner, son of the late James C. and Adele (Arnold) Wilson. In 1966, he and Joanne moved to Warren to raise their family on the Valley View Farm on East Road, where Jim's grandparents had raised their children, including James C. Wilson, I, James' father.
Following graduation from high school, James enlisted in the United States Army, serving during the Korean conflict.
