was very proud to be part of. Walter was also a long time member of the Royal Canadian Legion and always
enjoyed visiting a new club in every town he traveled through.
Walter enjoyed spending time with family and friends. He always believed that making memories was more
precious than material things. He loved fishing, camping, cooking, watching hockey, having a beer by the
fire and time with his grandchildren. He will be remembered by everyone for the sparkle in his eye, his
