I worked with Wilf many years ago on the Rosthern Superintendency Education Educational Association executive. Wilf was honest, hardworking, and cooperative. May he rest in peace. Jake Buhler
My deepest condolences to you all on the passing of your husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. I remember Wilf well from the Hague Gospel church. I always appreciated his wisdom, willingness to serve and his sense of humour.
Wilf was very kind to me when I joined the staff at Hague High. I learned a lot from him and especially appreciated his thoughtful statesmanship. My sincere condolences to his family and to all who loved him.
Our family is so sorry for your loss. He is finally in the arms of Jesus. Our condolences. Bev(Fast) Letkeman and family
Condolences Anne and family on the passing of Wilf. Wilf leaves a legacy of care, compassion with a gentle heart of leadership — especially in the years he served the EMM Conference as Moderator. His HR skills, with a touch of humor, made him an effective, loved, and influential leader. It was also good for Anita and I to connect again during our pastoral years in Hague. Praying for you all.
Our sympathy Barry and Jeannie on the death of your father, Barry. Thinking of you with caring.
So sorry for your loss Ann, My condolences go out to you and your family. God bless.
Dear Anne and family we are praying for you. We have many fond memories of Wilf serving in the Hague Gospel Church. May you find comfort in God’s love and strength.
Dear Auntie Anne, Darrell, Rod, Barry, and families — extending heartfelt sympathy. We are holding you in our hearts. I think I will remember Uncle Wilf most for his kindness, sense of humour, and boundless curiosity. When I think of him in my mind’s eye he’s always smiling or laughing. And his curiosity was certainly intellectual, but more than that. When he talked to you, you always felt as though he was completely engaged and interested in what you had to say. He was a good man, and he’ll be missed by so many. I am so very sorry we can’t be at the funeral, as we are all recovering from Covid and still coughing. I am glad to see there will be a livestream. Hugs and love to you all.
So sorry to hear of Uncle’s Passing. Our Deepest Condolences to All of you. He was such a Kind and Caring man. He always had a big smile and a story to tell. We will keep you in Our Thoughts and Prayers during this difficult time. Hopefully you can find some peace knowing he is in Heaven watching over you. Sending Our Love.
Susan and Brian
Auntie Anne, Darrell, Rod, Barry and Family, Sending the most sincere of condolences along with prayers your way in hopes that you can all continue to find much happiness in the wonderful memories that can never be taken away. Not only was Uncle Wilf my Godparent, but someone who always looked kindly upon others. He, and his many stories will never be forgotten. May he now rest in peace. Love Always & Forever, Nancy
