Over the years he hired many local boys to help with farm chores and enjoyed teaching several generations of young men everything they would ever want to know about farming. After he retired from the farm, Wilfred worked at the Brelmar Clinic in Sunderland for 15 years. He loved spending time with Al Bowness and helping another generation of young men and women as they started their veterinary careers. After retiring from Brelmar, Wilfred volunteered at Brock Community Care, where he worked as a "Friendly Visitor" and brightened the days of many elderly Brock residents.
