as a loving, caring and devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, uncle, brother and a friend to many. He was very proud of his family and all their accomplishments. He was a veteran of the Second World War, serving in the North Nova Scotia Highlanders. He retired from HMCS Dockyards with 33 years service in 1985. He was a carpenter and
locksmith by trade, but lovingly known by his family as "The Inventor", handyman and jack-of-all-trades. He took great pride in his many woodworking projects, renovating his home and building furniture for his family. He had a long "to do" list for every season and always had a new project on the go. Family gatherings and sing-a-longs were among some of his treasured times.
He enjoyed camping, playing his guitar, harmonica and keyboard and was always ready for a game of crib with whomever would challenge him. Wilfred had a passion for life and was young at heart and in mind and soul. He loved a good joke and had a great talent for story telling, especially over a cup of freshly brewed coffee. He loved to dance and was the first one on the
floor and the last one off. He couldn't resist making an entrance without his trademark dance steps. Wilfred, Dad, Grampy, Amedee, Uncle Wilfred, Uncle Amedee, Woozie, you always put your family first. Whenever we needed you, you were always there to offer support or lend a hand. You will never be forgotten and will be sadly missed by all whose lives you've touched. We are comforted by knowing that you are still watching over us. We love you and miss you. The stairway to Heaven must have been in need of repair. Survived by his wife of 53 years, Marion (Cornelius); son, Don, Halifax; daughters, Sharon (Douglas) Keel, Boutiler's Point; Cynthia MacInnis, Halifax; Paulette (Don) Gillespie, Twila (Rick) McInnis, both of Hammonds Plains; Angela (Adrian) Coupe, Hubbards; brother, Arthur (Olive), Ottawa; sisters, Margaret (James) Briand, Agnes Comstock, both of Halifax; Helen Wilkie, Dartmouth; Nora Purdy, Goodwood; Florence Ryan, Timberlea-Lakeside;
