Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of John Jack Wiles Monday March 1st 2021..
Death notice for the town of: Mitchell, Province: Ontario
My deepest sympathies to the Wiles family. I am sorry to hear of the passing of your father. I got to know him a bit when I worked at Campbell Soup in high school but really came to appreciate what a kind man he was when he and I talked at my Dad’s funeral in 1988. I’ve chatted with him a couple of times since, when he played at Kingsway Lodge when Mom was there. He was a good soul.
