Index
Occupation: Great Lakes Sailor(Mate)/TV Repair Business/CIL
Individual Note: Wilfred left the Bruce to sail on the Great Lakes in the mid 1930s. In the sailing off season he attended Marine school and qualified as a Ships Mate. During this period he was also seeing Bertha Hatt who was in nursing training in Hamilton. In the late 30s Bertha graduated and implored Wilfred to leave the lakes and get married. They settled in Toronto where Bill, as he became known, was employed in the shipping department of Canadian Industries, where he worked for about 30 years. While still at CIL, in the mid 1950s, he took training in TV and Electronics and started his own TV repair business. Wilfred had to retire early in his late 50s because of being diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a type of cancer of the blood system. After retirement he was able to acquire a cabin cruiser which he enjoyed on Lake Ontario and the Trent system for several years. He fought his cancer for 5 years, long enough to enjoy the arrival of the first of his 7 grandchildren.

I KNOW
By Wilda Wardrop
I know my Lord will pilot me
I know my Lord will pilot me
I know my Lord will pilot me
Over life's tempestuous sea
I know my blessed Lord loves me
I know my blessed Lord loves me
I know my blessed Lord loves me
And will ever care for me
I know, yes I know
I know my Lord will care for me
My Saviour shed his precious blood
My Saviour shed his precious blood
My Saviour shed his precious blood
For all sinners, you and me
My Lord took all my sins away
My Lord took all my sins away
My Lord took all my sins away
Left them all on Calvary's Tree
I know, yes I know
I know my Lord will care for me
Oh, someday I'm going home
Someday I'm going home
And my Lord will pilot me
