WALTER ALEXANDER MATEWUSH SR. It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Wally, dearest Husband, Father, Grandfather and Great-grandfather on September 20, 2012. Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife Peggy (Walchuk) and his family: daughter Wendy (Richard) Antoniuk of Edmonton; sons Wayne and Walter Jr. (Sheila) of Winnipeg; grandsons, Todd (Courtney) and Kellen (Erin) both of Edmonton; great-grandsons, Nate and Coen of Edmonton; sister Stella and sister-in-law Lillian of Winnipeg. He was predeceased by his parents, George and Anna; sister Helene; brother Fred and brothers-in-law John and Ken. Walter was born in Winnipeg on October 2, 1924. His schooling years were in Bienfait, SK. After a stint in the Air Force in Edmonton he worked at C.P. Rail Weston Shops as a carman for 35 years. He met his soul mate Peggy in Winnipeg in 1953. They were married in 1954 and they had 58 years of happiness. The best years of their lives. His greatest love was his family. He also enjoyed bowling, curling and golf. To Our Dearest Wally We watched you suffer We watched you sigh But all we could do Was just stand by. When the time came We suffered too. For you never deserved What you went through. God took your hand As we had to part. He eased your pain But He broke our hearts. If you could have spoken Before you died. These are the words You would have replied. This life for me has truly passed. I have loved you all Till the very last. Weep not for me But courage take, And love one another For my sake. Love Your Family Who will Miss You Very Much. Immediate cremation has taken place as per Wally's wishes and no service will be held. To family and friends, remember him as you knew him. He Loved You All God Bless 204-586-8044
