I was very saddened to hear of Wilfred’s passing. I will always remember the moments we shared during those car rides home, as he ensured I made it back before my curfew no matter what- even if he was deep asleep, he would always wake up and offer me the lift so I did not have to take the bus at night. His kindness, his music, and engaging conversations left a lasting impression on me. My heartfelt condolences to the family during this difficult time.
