Walter enjoyed hockey as a player and fan, but mostly as “chauffeur” for his sons. Over the years, he also found time for skiing, working around the yard, road trips to SK and reading anything to do with history, politics or current events.
Retirement kept him and Janice busy with numerous travels in the US and Canada, cruises, coffee with buddies, visits with friends and neighbours, and driving tractor as much as he could.
Most of all he loved his family. Nothing made him more happy or proud than his children and grandchildren. He will be sadly missed.
