Nellie, Anne & Brian;
While I had the pleasure working at Mountain View Retirement Centre I was fortunate to get to know Walter, and what a pleasure it was. His smile would lighten up any dark room and his laughter was such a joy to be around. When I done the Bingo games, Walter was always sure to have a seat by me, and his Bingo cards always had to have is lucky numbers on them, B 7 & B 13. He would dig down in the basket till he got those cards, then he would tell me to call the numbers on his cards. When he would tend the church services you can be sure to hear Walters voice, so loud and clear. He attended all the functions at the home and would take pride in all he done. He loved to dance with Nellie and they were a beautiful couple together to watch, they had that pleasure just a couple of weeks ago. The stories he told me about being a pilot were very interesting. When Walter was around there was never a dull moment and he was very witty, a man never stuck for a word. His love for Nellie and his children were very obvious that they were the loves of his life, he chatted non stop about them. I could go on and on about Walter, he was a very fine gentleman. Well Walter, there will be dances, story times and even Bingo in heaven, if I ever hear a voice shouting out Bingo I will know it was Walter, they called his numbers.
Carry on the Parade Walter and be very proud of those wings you earned. Till we meet again. Rest In Peace my buddy.
