The family would like to thank the staff at Vista Park Lodge where he resided the past two years. Thanks also to the medical staff at Victoria General Hospital for their compassionate care and support during his recent stay.

I miss my grandpa. Whenever I visited him I was always called "my little girl in the strawberry patches." I didn't know him well but he meant a lot to me. - Posted by: Emm (Oldest Great Grandchild) on: May 16, 2013

Walter was one of my Sunday School teachers growing up in the church in Teulon. I had seen him a few years agao at Faith and it was good reminiscing. He's walking on streets of gold now. - Posted by: Bruce Dewald (Friend) on: May 07, 2013

Walter will be missed by our family. He always had a kind word for me and any member of my family. He loved to laugh and make those crazty comments about the "turnip crop" in Tuelon. We had an enjoyable visit a few months ago. He is singing with the saints now. Love you Walter. - Posted by: Chris Franczyk (Friend) on: May 06, 2013
