Dear Marlene and children:
Tony and I would like to extend our sincerest condolences on your loss of your beloved Wally. Another husband and father taken long before his time.
Memories of you and Walter are many, but one that stands out in my mind was of you and Wally’s fìrst dance as you waltzed across the floor lost in each other’s LOVING eyes totally oblivious to anyone around you. May every memory of your LOVE sustain you through this difficult time and beyond. Wally is NOT gone, just away. With our deepest sympathy, Valerie and Tony Kent.

Ken Kilbrei
Marlene, my sincerest condolences on the passing of Wally. I always enjoyed our encounters, whether it was at the Craft Show or Costco. Our friendship began back in the days of Lazy Nine Fastball, when we would enjoy the games together but more so after, discussing all aspects of the game, in detail! Greater than this, it was then Wally insisted quote, “you have to introduce me to Marlene”, it was at this time my sister Elaine, was close friends with Marlene. Well, the rest is history!
I will always cherish our good times together, and that laugh and sparkle in his eyes, who could ever not like Wally. Wish we could have spent more time together, always considered him a great friend. He will be missed by all.
Best wishes Marlene,
Ken Kilbrei
Larry Joan Litke
Marlene myself and Joan send our sincere condolences to you and the family. I have great memories of Walley when I was a child at you dads property east of town. Even though I left Manitoba 40 yrs ago I still remember Walley’s great sense humour and zest for life. He could put smile on your face and was very kind.
God bless you Walley

They both were in East Gate.am still in Brandon and now have 19 years marriage to David. My late husband Milt and I were married in 1962 so we would of had lots of years too. I always remember you with fondness and thought I would say hello and wish you all the best.
