I was very saddened to hear that Wilford had passed away. I have worked with Wilford for the past few months at Aston Park Health Care Center as Activity Assistant on the Alzheimer’s Unit and grew very fond of Wilford. He will be greatly missed.
Please know that caring thoughts and heartfelt sympathy are with you…
God Bless,
