It is with a heavy heart that we share news of the passing of our former Head Night Custodian, Mr. Wilson. To know him, was to love him. He took such great care of us- so much so that we made him an honorary graduate of the LSA a few years ago. A wonderful man who cared deeply about FC. Rest easy, Mr. Wilson; you are a true Patriot 💙💛
