With Deepest Sympathy and Regrets for the loss of a Wonderful Man. Walter was a Friend of ours and our Family for my entire life. I remember all the excitement every time my parents mentioned going to Willowdale to visit Walter and Marion. Although we didn’t see them often they were and shall always remain a warm spot in our hearts.
With Love from Tom and Bev.

So sorry to hear of Walter’s passing. He was a wonderful man with a twinkle in his eye and a fun sense of humour. He and his loving and lovable wife Marion made a great team. We always enjoyed their company and kind words.He will be missed by all .

I will always remember all the laughter especially at the farm. Hanging wallpaper,baking pies and singing. Walter thought we were all crazy but always joined in the fun. He will be missed.

Our family picnics at Grama & Grandad’s home and visits to your home in Willowdale, for me, hold the most memories of Uncle Walter. I’m so happy that you were able to spend many years transporting the warmth of your Willowdale home to Grama & Grandad’s home in Bolton.
