Walter was born on the family farm just north of Barnwell on January 31, 1922. Walter loved life! He loved his wife, his kids and his grandchildren more than can be put into words. His love of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and researching genealogy was just as strong. Walter was always there for anyone that needed help. He enjoyed visiting with family and friends. His health was good to the end with only a few minor issues throughout his life. Walter enjoyed a very full life, making many, many friends along the way. He will be tremendously missed by all who knew and loved him.
If friends so desire, memorial tributes in Walter’s name may be made directly to the Taber Food Bank, 5512 - 48 Avenue, Taber, Alberta T1G 1S4.
