Sorry to hear this. Loved growing up next door to Mr. Wilson. What an awesome man he was. He always had a smile on his face and a jump in his step. Loved that my daughter got to have some of these same memories until they sold their house and moved to a nursing home. Thanks for the great memories Mr. Wilson

— Amber Hathaway, July 11, 2016To Glen, Peggy, and family Gord will be greatly missed. I will never forget for the longest time and less until recently hearing him call me "Dennis". He always had a smile for me. I always greeted him in a loud voice saying "good morning Mr Wilson" in a Dennis the Menace voice. I will miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. Gord and Jessie are once again together.
