    Dear Chris and family,
    I have fond memories of Wilf from many years ago when he and my late father, Byron Dale, worked together at McPhilips Furniture and were friends. Wilf was a good-natured and kind man and there was always laughter when he was around. My condolences to you at this difficult time.

    I met Mr. Hornick at Kingsmills and he was so nice to me; even though I had other options I ended up making my purchase there because I wanted to do business with him. That must have been ten years ago and I never forgot meeting him. I am so sorry for your loss and mine too.

    Dear Chris: It has been many years since we have been together. I am Mabel & Earle Beattie’s niece. (Gail Weiler, nee Tucker)

    Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of Wilf.

    Bob & I moved to London in June of 1962 when were married and Bob had just joined the OPP. Bob retired in 1992. So very sad to say the he died in his sleep on May 2, 2005 at the age of 67. I truly understand your sadness and grief. We have four grandchildren ages 8-11.

    We enjoyed many visits and playing cards at Aunt Mabels in those early years.

    May you find peace in remembering all the happy times that you and Wilf shared together with family and friends.

    I still live at 19 St. Lawrence Blvd. London, ON the home that we bought in 1972.

    May God Bless you Chris

    Mrs Hornick and Family:
    I was the office manager at Kingsmill’s from 1944 to 1987.
    I have fond memories of Wilf.
    He was respected as an
    excellent salesman of the highest caliber. Wilf was the one I went to when buying furniture as I trusted his
    judgment.
    Please accept my sincere sympathy. Death takes the
    person. It can not take the
    memories. Madeliene Hanway
