Walter will be remembered fondly for his smile, laughter & great sense of humor.  Always kind & generous. He was also a great cook, I loved his stuffed peppers & boiled dinners back in the day! My deepest condolences to the entire family❤️ Love Sherry Jancar & family

I met Uncle Walter twice, and he was such a  kind, funny and loving man like his brother (my grandfather Charles).  Even long after my grandfathers passing he always checked in with my grandmother Lenie with phone calls, cards and birthday gifts.  She has always spoken so highly of him.  He and the whole family was also so kind when my mother Maria passed 3 years ago, and made sure he knew that he and his family were thinking of us even from afar. 

He will be greatly missed by many, and my sincere condolences to all of his family and friends.

Walter always wanted to make us laugh, and that day at Shawn and Ed’s many laughs were had!

My heart is heavy with grief, yet overflowing with profound, eternal gratitude for my dad—a positive, driven man of unyielding strength.
Dad was magnetic, humble, and endlessly kind. He loved socializing, helping others, and making people laugh. Everyone he met—from local grocery clerks and neighbourhood cab drivers to restaurant staff—was left with a lasting impression. Even on school trips, teachers deliberately paired him with the "troublemakers," and those kids adored him. He brushed off negativity, stayed focused, and was always the first to cheer you on through life's challenges.
Incredibly goal-driven, Dad never gave up. Following a 1965 work accident, they said he wouldn't walk past 14 years, yet he defied all odds and walked for 61. He simply adjusted, taking up golf and swimming daily laps at the YWCA despite not being able to float. Mom proudly nicknamed him "Spitz" after the Olympic swimmer. He used that strength to lift others up, always finding a way to overcome.
My childhood is filled with beautiful memories: winning father-daughter bowling tournaments, swimming beside him, long walks, and vacations to Sauble Beach, our little piece of heaven on earth. At Hoover Park, we played tennis, baseball, basketball, and horseshoes. Above all, he deeply loved his family and adored his grandsons, Dylan and Seamus, proudly sharing their stories as a devoted pappa.
I cannot speak of Dad without Mom. Together, they were "solid," building our family on devotion and making their children the centre of their world. Mom was our protective bedrock and the steady hand Dad relied on. When she passed, only Dad’s resilience could fill the void, and his spirit never wavered, even through his final 40 days.
Looking to the cross, we know there is a love greater than our grief. Dad is restored in Christ, free from pain and earthly limits. I picture him running into Mom’s arms in heaven, making her laugh once again. Their love story is complete in God's arms. Love you Dad, bugxo
