  • Uncle Wilf was a wonderful man. He always had interesting stories to tell that captivated anyone who was in ear shot. I hope that he is with my Nannie, Auntie Lorna & his parents, happy, content and healthy. You will be greatly missed Uncle, Love Tanya - Posted by: Tanya LaPratt (Great Niece) on: Jan 26, 2012

  • I remember when we used to go out to Victoria Beach and visit them, it was really fun there, we always used to go swimming with grandpa Wilfred and grandma Marjorie and my mom and dad, my sisters and brothers. Those will always be the memories I remember. But then our family kind of just slowly separated and it was really hard on my family, we all just wanted to be together, have fun and go visit all our family but unfortunately we couldn't. I just hope my great-grandpa has a good life as a spirit and we all see each other one day R.I.P. great-grandpa Wilfred. Your family loves you with all their hearts, love your great-granddaughter Sadi Marjorie Moar - Posted by: Sadi Moar (My greatgrandpa) on: Jan 25, 2012
