I used to chum with Walter and Johnnie Liska around 1960 when I was at Grandma Kyle's farm. We used to Roller skate, bowl and play Canasta. I knew his sisters Marjorie, Mary, Olga and his brothers Gordona and Eddie. Walter always had a smile and was always a very nice fellow. I know he will be missed by everyone he encountered in his life time. I live in Calgary and BC these days. I just learned of Walter's passing by googling the Kork family. They were always wonderful to me. I remember Olga was going with an electrician named Steve in 1960. I was just a poor student at the time. - Posted by: Ed Wood (Friend) on: Sep 20, 2012
