Auntie Pat, Evan, Barb and Family.
Things I will miss most about my wonderful uncle Walt...his bright smile accompanied by his witty humour, his deep sounding singing, his joyful stories, his never ending supply of Mello Yellow, the way he danced to his favourite songs, his hard working efforts to help with any fix-it job, the special feeling he gave with his big bear hugs, but most of all the love he filled not only my heart but the hearts of everyone in his life. Love you and thanks for being such a big part of my life and for giving me so many special, fun and fabulous memories! Never Stop Singing Uncle Walt XOXO

Aunt Pat, Evan, Barb and family,

We are heart broken to hear this news. We are even more heart broken that we cannot make the trip to say our goodbye to a wonderful Uncle. Walt always made us smile with that wonderful sense of humour. Our times at the cottage were great. We will miss him very much. He will be joining Bob and Lorna (Bess) and Uncle Tim. Know he's in good company.

Tons of hugs and kisses from Mark, Debby, Aaron and Cheryl Woodhouse xo
