I am so deeply shocked & saddened by Uncle Walter's passing. To me, Uncle Walter was always the epicenter of every party & family gathering he attended-- he entertained; he laughed; he was engaging... I remember him dancing 'Cossack-style' with Auntie Joan, & how impressed I was that he could do that... his love of music will last for generations, since now even his grandchildren have inherited that special trait & those talents. Bless him for having imbued such an important skill & talent into so many kids & grandchildren.
He was witty; he was so intelligent & observant --he was definitely an inspiration to me.... I treasure the few one-on-one encounters we shared as if they happened yesterday: one time, he took me on a big inflatable raft, far out into Georgian Bay, and we were going to float on the current all the way to the top of the peninsula... he made me feel very important, wanting to share that time with me.... sadly, the raft sprang a pinhole leak, & we had to return to shore, but that short while when I was basking in his intelligence & personality & attention were very, very special to me.
David; Carolyn, Julie, Trina & Auntie Joan; I am so very sorry for your loss today... but glad on your behalf that you had such a great man in your lives for as long as you did.
