Saddened to hear the news of Wilfs passing. I’ve known Wilf through working with him at NL Power over the years and have many great memories of our working days. We know you’ll cherish all the great memories you have of him and remember the good times. This certainly is a dreaded disease and robbed him of the best years of his life. Thinking of you all during this difficult time in your lives. We are currently away on vacation but would be there if we were home, god bless you all.
