It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather.

He attended school at Evadale, Saskatchewan and spent most of his young life farming. In 1967, Walter met the love of his life, Sandra Gouldsbra. They were married on June 8, 1968 in Benito, Manitoba, where they made their home. Arrival of their three girls Cathy, Karen and Tracy made their lives complete.
