It saddens me that I will not be able to attend the celebration of such an amazing life. My Uncle was the true story of family and love. Family was always first no matter what. He had an incredible gift to make everyone feel special. His laughter and jokes have brought smiles to all of us. My boys remembered him as Uncle Pigeon. I will cherish all the special memories I have as a child and as an adult, and he will live on in all our stories. I will miss Uncle Wilf very much. Love Always Chantalle, Cameron, Dalton, Quinn, Quade & Nathan - Posted by: Chantalle Goulet-Kiddie (Niece) on: Jul 18, 2012
