A
Well,

Mr

on
September
1st
of
this
year
care
beautiful,
coat
and
lost
an
amazing
icon,
loved
and
respected.
Last
weekend,
almost
1500
people
gathered
in
the
Williams
Lake
Stampede
grandstand
to
pay
their
final
respects
to
Wilfred
wilfio
Leslie
Smith
Will
Smith
is
a
long
time
Auctioneer
with
BC
livestock.
He
started
his
career
in
partnership
with
his
brother
Al
after
attending
auction
School
in
the
U.S.
He
was
known
for
his
quick
wit
and
commitment
to
his

our
community
and,
of
course,
his
clients.
A
He
volunteered
his
time
and
auctioning
skills
freely
to
groups
like
Williams,
Lake,
Stampede,
the
Harvest,

Unlimited
and
4-H
Daryl
Williamson
said
it
best
and
with
a
chuckle,
when
he
told
me
the
best
thing
about
wilf
was
once
you
put
your
hand
up
once
you
were
good
for
about
six
bids
without
having
to
put
it
up
again.
He
could
have
been
quoted
as
saying
to
one
of
his
colleagues
Larry
Jordan
Larry.
Everybody
here
wants
to
buy
something
so
take
their
bid.
Take
it
even
if
it
looks
like
they're
just
thinking
about
it.
A
Joking
aside,
he
was
well
loved
by
the
staff
colleagues
and
clients
of
BC
livestock
Mr
Speaker,
who
made
it
clear
in
their
tributes
during

that
they
all

respect
and
Trust

caring,
hard-working
and
loyal
to
describe
him
Mr
