Walter Dowd

April 6th, 2013 – December 16, 1930

Walter was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia. He recently lost his older brother Gerald and older sister

Patricia. His younger brother, Richard lives with his wife, Connie, and family in Nova Scotia.

Walter also leaves behind his wife, Barbara. Her love, affection and care has been a comfort and aid to him over their 44 years of marriage, especially in these last times in his battle with chronic kidney and lung disease.

Thanks are due to Dr. Sanders and Dr. Fazil for their care and advice, to the staff of the health professionals at the Cowichan District Hospital and to the Home Care nurses. Walter was a teacher and very much enjoyed his teaching career which he started in 1953 and ended in 1992. It had allowed him to teach in other parts of Canada as well as the Canadian DND Schools, Germany. He always found the time to be involved in a variety of school activities (sports, drama, yearbook) and in many staff related committees. By his own request cremation with no ceremony or service.

A la prochaine.
