    Wilford and His Beautiful Wife Beverly moved to My small Wyoming town in back in 2008..I think ...He was just a normal guy. He had farm land and animals outside town that he took care of. I would see him in the store where I worked.. Waited on him many times. Loved his wife Beverly she is the sweetest lady.. They did alot for our small town... He helped put together "Hands Across The Saddle" This project helps people who might need help with medical bills, purchasing Electric Wheelchairs, families who've lost homes in fires.
    Every year they have a dinner and silent auction. There's always entertainment Wilford and his band preformed 2 or 3 times. Thank you Neighbor for Everything you did for our little town....🙏💞💐

    He was an endearing and lovable character and reminded me of a big teddy bear. The first time I saw him in the Liberty Mutual ads I fell in love! When he said, "Diabeetus" it caught everyone's attention and from then on it was perfectly acceptable to pronounce it the way that Mr. Brimley did.

    Wilford Brimley (September 27, 1934 - August 1, 2020). Once upon a time in America, you couldn't go to the show without walking out thinking, "Will I ever see another movie without Wilford Brimley in it." He could take any role and bring his own brand of American country soul and gruff humility to it and make you think, no one but Wilford Brimley could bring that role to life. Often enough, it was probably true.
