Walter SLIPCHENKO

Andrew, We just learned today about the sudden passing of your father, Walter. Back in the 1980's I worked very closely with Walter for several years under the Canada-USSR Arctic exchange program. As part of this program we made several trips to Russia 's north and hosted several return delegates in the NWT. I often visited Walter and Ollie at their home in Iroquois when I travelled to Ottawa and we had Walter over for supper many times when he came to Yellowknife. Walter was a committed and accomplished co-worker and a very good friend.

Both Walter and Ollie were very good friends to our family and we have many happy memories of great dinners with them in Ottawa and Morrisburg. Please know that we are thinking of you Andrew in your time of sorrow.
With sympathy, Andrea (Bradley & Aaron), Lara and Robert Klymasz

I have very fond memories of Walter, particularly a week long trip to Greenland we shared in 1986. A real gentleman, who will be much missed.

He offered support, guidance and leadership, absolutely. I would add a creative and open mind, but above all a kind and generous man. Condolences to the family.
