I have known Walter since 2016 when I joined his Spinal Tap Monday night 8-ball league. His welcoming spirit, easy wit and excellent coaching made Monday nights something to look forward to. Walter was an excellent teacher and I learned a lot from his tutelage. His sense of humor often eased frustration with members pool playing and his encouragement meant a lot. - Posted by: Bonny Hebert (Team Member Spinal Tap) on: Feb 24, 2025

I met Walter 30 years ago and soon became friends. I was one of his newest friends. To be his friend was to be a lifelong friend. I will always have good memories of playing 8 ball pool, golfing an curling together. One day he invited me to check out his pool league and out of the blue he told me to grab a cue because I was playing the next match. I'm still playing on his team 14 years later. Walter skipped our curling team to win an event (had to win 14 of 16, 10 end games) and score an 8 ender in the MCA bonspiel. Walter you will be missed by everyone who knew you. - Posted by: Kevin kenaschuk (Friend) on: Feb 23, 2025
