Dear Gloria, Tyler , Katie and Families…Sending love and hugs to our old neighbours…It brings a smile and a tear to my heart as I look at the pictures of Wilf…Remembering wonderful times of visits at the kitchen table, watching Wilf blow snow in our laneway so I can make the winter trek to work, Wilf working our land, or just the enjoyable interactions between our families. Such happy, simpler times…..and then the unfortunate disease that slowly stole our strong, robust , dedicated community member, neighbour and friend. Keeping you in our thoughts as you travel through the grieving and hopefully healing process, surrounded by the support of those that love you….Hugs from The Benner Family…

Condolence from jean riddell on November 17th, 2021 2:03 PM

i will always cherish the time spent with my “big brother”. Wilf and Gloria’s was my go to place when I came back to see family and friends. I respected my brothers work ethic, his knowledge and wisdom, his love of farming and the land. I respected his desire to make a meaningful contribution to his community in many lasting ways.
Most of all I saw (and experienced) how he loved and cared for all his family through good and bad, in a true partnership with Gloria. Wilf also knew how to have a good time and enjoy life, even keeping his signature whistle and great laugh well into his illness.
My heart goes out to Gloria, Tyler, Katie and their families. Lots of love from your sister-in-law, aunt and great aunt Jean

Gloria, Katie, Tyler and family-
Holding you close especially today as you face the end of your journey in saying goodbye to Wilf. I have been flooded with my childhood memories of him since I heard of his passing which I feel so blessed to have. I think I was 10 years old when I realized we weren’t actually related…it just always felt like we were. He was a dear friend to Mom and Dad and a bright light in our community. We will always cherish his impressions, his humor, and his kind demeanor. He was truly a gem and touched so many of us.
Heartfelt condolences and love always,
Shannon

Condolence from Rick on November 19th, 2021 3:16 PM

Condolences to Gloria, Katie and Tyler and family’s. We all mourn for Wlifred but are grateful that he is at peace now. I was glad to be able to see him each time I was back in Ontario and only 2 years ago I was able to hold his hand, make a small joke, and get a smile from him as we locked gazes. He knew it was his little bro “Ricky”. Lots of great family memories growing up with him as my older brother. I will remember the laughter, his dedication to family and community, and pride in forging innovative farming techniques. He wanted to follow in our Father’s footsteps and he did. Good bye “Freddie'”.

Very sorry to hear of Wilf’s passing. I knew Wilf since a youngster having spent many times at my Uncle Lloyd Chittick’s farm 2 farms down from the Riddells. Wilf was the same in youth as he was as a senior. A solid guy who had a great smile and laugh. My sympathy goes out to Gloria and the family.
