Walter was predeceased by his mother and father; brothers, John and Bert; and sisters, Mildred and Sophie. Walter will be lovingly remembered and deeply missed by Helen, his wife of 50 years; daughter Karen (Brian) Friesen; and son Dwight (Lynn) and his precious granddaughters Lindsay and Lisa. He is also survived by his sisters, Jean Ruchkall and Stella Solar; brother Lawrence (Jennifer) as well as many nieces, nephews, good friends and neighbours. Walter was born in West Melrose, MB on March 10, 1920. His first passion was farming and after finishing his shift at the Royal Alexandra Hotel he could be seen driving to the farm down the highway in his little red truck. His love of music and song led him to be a member of the Creative Services Philharmonica Band and he really enjoyed bowling with the Chateau Lanes Golden Agers. Walters zest for life was inspiring and he will be remembered for his positive outlook, his sense of humour and teaching us all how to properly kiss a goose.
