He was predeceased by his parents; Susanna and Gilbert Durnford (nee Carter), sisters; Susie and Ann, and in-laws; Maggie and Eli Seymour.

Eileen would like to thank the caregivers at the Corner Brook Long Term Care Facility, for all of the wonderful compassion they gave to Walter over the past 7 years.
