Wilfred was the life of the party. Specifically known as Swinging Jim and Wolf Dog to those who knew and loved him. He was always having fun and laughing. His favorite things to do was cooking seafood and eating. You would never go hungry around him. You could see his bowed legs and pigeon toes a mile away and knew exactly who he was. He was loved by many and will be truly missed.
