away peacefully on August 12, 2010 at the Moncton
Hospital.

Wilfred worked at the Canadian Gypsum and was a lab technician for
Inland Waters and Noranda Mines. He also worked in the woods
and for the Village of Riverside Albert. Wilfred was a jack
of all trades, he could fix any appliance, getting calls from
neighbors to fix dryers, washers and stoves. Truth be told
he was also a dentist of sorts, pulling teeth was his
specialty. He loved the outdoors, hunting and
fishing.He will be remembered for his great sense of humor and for his
willingness to help others. The family will be able to look
back on all the stories he told them and have a good
laugh.
He will be deeply missed by his wife, Helen
(Campbell) Fenton; children, John Fenton (Darlene) of Cole Harbour,
NS; Shirley Meldrum (Ronald) of Houston, Texas, Victor Fenton (Krista)
of Stoney Creek, NB and Derrick Fenton (Stacey) of Oromocto,

Bailey and Tanner; sisters, Kathy Edson (Art) of Riverview, NB and

(Sandra) of Orillia, ON and Mike Fenton (Amy) of Albert Mines,
NB. He will also be missed by his mother-in-law, Arvilla
Campbell and sister-in-law, Susan Fenton and by several nieces,
nephews and many good friends.
Besides his parents he was predeceased by an infant
daughter, Janet; sister, Helen McDuff; brothers, Roy and
Vaughn.
