Obituary of Walter Joseph Kennedy
It is with heavy hearts that we announce that on December 5, 2019, Walter Kennedy passed away at the age of 62 after a 9 ½ month battle with Cancer. Born in Antigonish Nova Scotia, he was the only child of the late Joseph and Barbara (nee Tramble) Kennedy.

Walter served in the Navy for 6 years, before starting his 25-year career at St. Francis Xavier University, Antigonish NS. He then embarked on a new career with the Carpenter’s Union as a Scaffolder. This work brought him to Regina, where he then became a proud member of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, Local 1985. With a calm, cool demeanor and a smile that could brighten the cloudiest day, he made friends wherever the road took him. He will be lovingly remembered and never forgotten. Ride easy, Walter.
