Golden "Fifty" member
Trammell Charles "Speck"
Wilson, 88, died at
Carolinas Medical Center on
May 10, 2002, one day after
his birthday, following a
brief illness. Known by many
as "Speck," "T.C.," or
"Charlie," he was a native
of Charlotte.
One of the oldest members of
Charlotte Rotary — one of 42
members older than 75 —
Speck joined the Club more
than a half a century ago in
1950. Always a faithful
Rotarian, Speck achieved
thirty years of perfect
attendance in the Club. He
contributed generously as a
member of the
Glad-to-Be-Alive Club and as
our 206th Paul Harris
Fellow.
"Speck" worked many years
for Thompson Dental Company
and later owned and managed
Carolina Dental Supply. In
addition to Charlotte
Rotary, he was a member of
the Charlotte Gideon South
Camp and the Navajo Club. He
was a volunteer with Meals
on Wheels and a long-time
active member of Caldwell
Memorial Presbyterian
Church. Throughout his life,
his faith in the Lord
remained strong.
His wife of 52 years,
Virginia Diman Wilson,
preceded him in death.
He is survived by a
daughter, Judith W. Mill of
Cayce, South Carolina; two
sons, Norman S. Wilson and
his wife Linda of Frederick,
Maryland, and Charles D.
Wilson and his wife Bambi of
Durham, North Carolina;
eight grandchildren, Hillary
M. Wilson, Krislan M.
Wilson, William S. Mill,
Donald H. Mill, Ronald D.
Mill, Richard P. Mill,
Patrick A. Wilson, and
Christopher S. Wilson; three
greatgrandchildren; and
numerous cousins, nieces,
and nephews. His many
friends, who cherished his
presence in their lives,
including many members of
our Club, also survive him.
Funeral services were held
May 13 at Caldwell Memorial
Presbyterian Church, 1615
East Fifth St. His
grandchildren were his
pallbearers.
