Walter was from a Pioneer River's family who settled in the town almost 110 years ago. He was one of 9 brothers who grew up in the house his Father built in the early 1900's. His love of hunting, fishing and outdoor sports, started when he was young. There was always a hunting rifle handy behind the kitchen door. The brothers would spend time during their youth hunting and fishing around Rivers. He also played baseball and hockey when he was young and later worked on the executive with minor hockey in the province.
.
He was too young to serve in the Second World War, like his older brothers. Instead he served his community - keeping everyone safe and secure. It was more than a job for him - it was a calling. He policed the community with honesty, decency, honor, and dignity. He set a very high standard of performance in his devotion and dedication to his job.
Sending much love and thoughts to Barry, Diane, Beverly, and their Families. You will be dearly missed Uncle Walter.
