It will be hard to have a family gathering without you! Wilf, you made sure to speak with each of us and always knew what was going on in our lives, always ready to be supportive never intrusive. This is a perfect picture of you, always ready to see and share the humour, yes some was corny but that didn’t matter. You just wanted to see us laugh to share a bit of Jonathan Winter and “The Duke”. You leave behind so many years of good memories and that is a pretty terrific accomplishment. Rest peacefully now
and Wilf, Thanks For the Memories!!
Wilf was certainly one of a kind, I worked with Wilf for over 30 years at Mother Parkers. He was always a gentlemen, full of fun, and his customers truly loved him. He was very fond of our Father Paul Higgins, I was told he named his first Son Paul. Wilf knew how to enjoy life to its fullest, and made those who surrounded him feel his enthusiasm . He lived a wonderful life ,always talking about his beautiful wife, and proudly talking about his Children. I am very lucky to have had the privilege of knowing Wilf in my life, and will celebrate his memory. Michael
I am shocked to hear of Wilf’s sudden passing. For many years we lived across the street from “The Kilbourne’s” and when we moved in in 1947 thirteen year old Wilf was one of the first neighbours to introduce himself. Later we became very good friends with the whole family. Wilf attended my 90th birthday five years ago and signed my beautiful birthday quilt. My deepest sympathy to Janet and all the relatives and friends.
Our deepest condolences Joyce, Kari and Paul. Our hearts and prayers go out to you at this sad time. We have fond memories of Wilf and you at ACT events. May the Lord give you strength and peace during this sad time . In Sympathy Wayne and Dorian
I am so sorry for your loss! I didn’t know Wilf except to say hello but feel very sad for everyone. My prayers are with you.
I met Wilf many years ago when he walked into my travel office, about 30 20 years ago. He has been my client and friend ever since. He always had a story to tell me and he always made me smile. I will miss you my friend.
My deepest sympathies Joyce, Kari and Paul & family. Rest in peace.
