On behalf of Andrew Jones and myself I would like to say that we are both saddened by his passing.

Wilf was a character in his own right and we had the pleasure of having Wilf join us one summer on a memorable trip from Kingston to Morrisburg and back with a variety of kit including two Bedford trucks.

Wilf took to the Bedfords like a duck to water and was a constant source of hilarity for the weekend and a larger than life character all around. He is on the right in this picture.

Thinking about you Wilf

Default obituary - 'Wilf' Alexander

http://www.canadianobituaries.com/pe...ctober-21-2016

Quote:
ALEXANDER, Wilfred Andrew 'Wilf' - It is with profound sadness we announce the sudden passing of Wilf Alexander on October 21, 2016.
Wilf was a proud and dedicated volunteer for many years with St. John’s Ambulance, Durham Regional Police Auxillary, and most recently was proud Captain at Station 3 OSM Fire Services.
He leaves behind his wife Carol, daughter Nicole (Jim), sister-in-law Christine Galler (Mike) and their daughters Brooke and Brittany, brother-in-law Bill Jost (Carol) and their family, and parents-in-law Wilhelm and Margarete Jost.
He will be missed by many other family members, co-workers, and friends.
At Wilf’s request, cremation has taken place.
In lieu of flowers, a donation to an Animal Humane Society or Rescue Shelter of your choice would be appreciated by the family. Arrangements entrusted with Benson-Shields funeral homes, Millbrook.
