Condolences
Dear Mrs. MacLeod, Art, John, Richard and Families, We are thinking and praying for your family during this time of grieving the passing of Wip. This has come so quickly after the loss of his dad so we are sure that this has been a very difficult and tender time for you all. It has been a number of years since I (Lynda) have connected with Wilfred but I so remember him clearly as the one that had such a tender caring heart and great listening ear. So many times too I remember his piano playing and his accompanying me while singing, not to mention that dry sense of humor that he had that would brighten a room. I do have fond memories of the last time I saw him as he came and saw us after the birth of our daughter and the sweetness that he had for her and all little ones. Please know that we will be praying for you all in these next days and weeks as you miss a wonderful son, brother, brother-in-law, uncle and all the other roles that he played in your lives. Please know that you are in our thoughts today...a day set aside to honor Wilfred's life and we are asking our great God to bring comfort and peace to your hearts. Warmly, Rick and Lynda Donald (Taylor)
I worked with Wilfred at Toronto General Hospital for the time he worked in Nutrition Services . Wilfred was very patient oriented and would do his best to make their stay as comfortableas possible. He was pleasant to work with and had a good sense of humor.
I just heard the news today about Wilf's passing. Although it has been so many years since I last saw Wilf, I will never forget his gentle and kind spirit and his wonderful smile and infectious laugh. My prayers for comfort and understanding go out to all who loved Wilf, I'm sure that there are many of you I've never met but we have a common bond in having known Wilf and been touched by his life. Mr & Mrs MacLeod - Arthur, John & Richard when there is nothing else to say - as at times like this - I will simply say that I know the pain you are going through loosing a son, a brother, a friend. It's at times like this we take comfort from those who are stronger - my prayer is that you each will be there for each other and share the comfort of friends.
I recall Wilf as a wonderful person who loved with all his huge heart. He was good to me and my little one, Adam. God bless you.
My heart goes out to Wilf's mother, brothers and their wives and families. It has been many, many years since I saw or spoke to Wilf last. I knew him from Brantford in the mid 1970s and lived in the same house as him for a short time in Hamilton with Mrs. Green. I always cherished our friendship and Wilf's wry humour and sensitivity. I lost touch with where he was once he moved to Toronto and tried various times to try and find him to reconnect again. I am very sorry that that did not happen in this life. I will always remember him with great fondness. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and all of his friends. Love, Mark
