It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Wally on April 21, 2017 in his 93rd year. Beloved husband of Jean for 69 years. Loving father of Robert (Stephanie), Brenda (David) and Donna. Adored Grandpa to Jesse, Alice (Jason), Neysa (Sam) and Katherine. He will also be missed by nieces and nephews. A special thank you to the staff of 5B South Parkwood Hospital for their care and compassion. Visitation will take place on Wednesday April 26, 2017 from 10-11 am at the A. Millard George Funeral Home, 60 Ridout Street South, London, where the service will take place in the chapel at 11 am. Burial to follow at Listowel Fairview Cemetery. Online condolences, memories and photographs shared at www.amgfh.com
Our family always thoroughly relished Wally’s visits to the farm. I remember him for his kindness and his calm demeanour. His timely advice early in my teaching career was a great influence on me and I will be eternally grateful for his counsel. My thoughts are with Jean and his family at this time.

Wally was my mothers[Audrey Scott] brother
and a nicer kinder more interesting uncle you could not find.
I was blessed to know Wally and spend time with him when I moved to London with my family in 1975.
Wally enjoyed ‘The Benny Hill Show” and sweet pastries and shared both with me.
He was a specialist in agriculture and interested in almost everything ,which made him great company.
Wally and Jean raised a great family which will be his legacy forever.
Thanks for being a wonderful uncle.

Aunt Jean and Family
My deepest condolences !
A very knowledgeable man ,along with his warm and calm demeanor, he was always so interesting and easy to talk with.
Although our paths seldom crossed in our older years, I have many fond memories of times spent with Uncle Wally and I count myself fortunate to have had him as a part of my life.
