Wiley first came to Toronto Grace as a contract employee, and within a few weeks his honesty, integrity, wide knowledge, compassion, and values-based decision making had impressed staff, managers, and all of senior management. People from all levels of the organization wanted him to stay. He was a man with a keen intelligence, a generous heart, and a willing hand. His example made a difference in the quality of care. He became a treasured friend whose loss is deeply felt. I offer Jane and Garrett and Wiley's extended family Barbara's and my heartfelt condolences. May his memory be a blessing.

I so enjoyed meeting and getting to know Wiley, Jane and Garrett at many different family events. I appreciated their strong bond and dedication to family. Wiley was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met, and it’s with great sadness that I realize that the last time I saw him was the very last time. My deepest condolences to Jane, Garrett, Darcy, Marty, Courtney, Chelsea and family.
