In 1963 he married Dorothy Hart of Theodore SK.  Wilmer and Dorothy were blessed with a daughter, Shelly Lee born in 1969.

Wilmer loved sports.  He played baseball, hockey and enjoyed golfing.

The family cabin at the lake was one of his favorite places to be, boating, fishing, snowmobiling, walking on the beach or just relaxing on the deck.

He enjoyed many trips and holidays with his family and friends.

Gardening and working in both of his yards was very relaxing for him.

If you ever needed something repaired or fixed, Wilmer had tape, glue or a piece of string handy.

His grandchildren were very special to him.  He was so proud of them and loved them deeply.

He leaves to mourn and cherish his memory, his best friend and devoted wife of 58 years Dorothy, his daughter Shelly Lee and her husband John Kachur of Saskatoon, grandchildren Darby, Abby, Payton and Taiya; and many great friends. He will also be missed by his favorite puppy Bosco.
