On October 25th, Walter's great-grandchildren Lucas and Sawyer were welcomed to the family. Walter would have been so thrilled to have met these little guys. And today, October 31st, would have been his 82nd birthday. This was dad's favorite holiday as he looked so forward to seeing all the kids in their costumes. We are going to keep up the tradition with our grandchildren. You are deeply missed, hope you are at peace. All my love, Sandi - Posted by: Sandi Desrochers (Daughter) on: Oct 31, 2015

Dear Auntie Wilma, Debbie, Jim, Sandi, and families, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Uncle Fuzzy was so much fun! I recall hours of fun at family events playing crib and card games with him. We now enjoy playing all of those favourite games with our own children. We will miss his wonderful sense of humour and joie de vivre. Our condolences, Laura (niece), Rob, and our children, Isabel and Sam - Posted by: Laura Sly (Niece) on: Jul 21, 2015

Sincere Condolences to You Wilma and to Your Family. Walter was such a wonderful Man. He would light up a room with that great smile of his. We always looked forward to seeing, and enjoyed chatting with Uncle Fuzzy at Monday Night Bowling. - Posted by: Lucy & Lisa Hutchinson (friends) on: Jul 13, 2015
