CHARLES WALDEN Obituary

WALDEN, CHARLES EDWARD (TED) It is with great sadness that we announce the loss of our father, Charles Edward Walden, who passed away suddenly but peacefully at his home on July 6, 2020, after a battle with prostate cancer. Fluent in four languages, Ted (as he preferred to be called) was an influential pioneer in real estate law, a recognized Beethoven scholar, an accomplished pianist and a profound lover of music and nature. He held degrees from the University of Western Ontario and Osgoode Law School, and a diploma from the University of Vienna. Son of Carroll and Kathleen Walden, our father lost his beloved brother Frank in the weeks after the Normandy landings, but enjoyed a close, lifelong bond with his sister Colleen. He was predeceased by our dear mother Maxine in 1995. As a wonderful father and a faithful friend to many, we look forward to celebrating his life together once travel restrictions are lessened. Announcements will be sent privately at that time, and posted on the Morgan Funeral Home website in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Our father would welcome donations in his informal name to Music Niagara or The Niagara-on-the-Lake Heritage Trail. Thank you, dear father, for guiding us to love life, and for your strength and tenderness until the end. With love, Jennifer, Scott, Beth and Megan

Almost a year has passed- Ted was a wonderful neighbour and friend. He lent his expertise of law to community causes, such as saving the historical church on First Avenue. Respected in his area of real estate law, he lent a hand to the community when asked. Often a regular fixture for many years when one would look out the window to see Ted faithfully doing his mile sprint in rain, snow or sun. Always with a smile, a touch of wisdom and an antidote on life. I hope wherever you are -enjoying those Niagara peaches and peaches n cream corn on the cob

Every summer for decades now we have travelled around the eastern end of Lake Ontario to stay at a cottage in the Chautauqua neighborhood of NOTL. When Ted made his move from near us in the Riverdale area of Toronto to the idyllic environs of NOTL, our sojourns there were tremendously enhanced. Our get-togethers at his home and at his favourite local haunts became the highlights of our trips, as Ted regaled us with marvelous humourous stories and rememberances dear to him. Oftentimes we met up there with mutual friends of ours and Ted's from the old days at Smith Lyons, one of the three law firms where Ted had been a brilliant, progressive lawyer and esteemed colleague. Our heartfelt condolences to his family. He will be missed immeasurably. Valerie and Robert Witterick

Ted was a great legal mentor to me, the one who introduced my wife and me to Tanglewood and a good friend (and reader of countless drafts of his correspondence, manuscript and play). I will miss him and his spirit.
