Wally was born on the farm south of Bromhead, SK, moving north of Torquay SK. where he attended Gilbertson School and later Torquay School, where he graduated in 1961.
Throughout his life, Wally struggled with many health issues, but always maintained his sense of humour. He loved music, sang in the glee club and went to many dances. His all-time favourites were 鈥淥kie from Muskogee鈥�, peppermint candies, coffee and cake.
He was a hard worker and had many jobs including drywalling, working in the oilfield, Coronach Plant, and while he was a resident of the nursing home, he shovelled snow and tended to the gardens.
Wally loved the fellowship of the Salvation Army, and we thank them for their support over the years. The family is especially thankful to the numerous doctors and the nursing home staff for their care and compassion.
