Parcourez la nécrologie de Walter Grey Wednesday October 23rd 2024 résidant dans la province Ontario pour le détail des funérailles
At his residence on Wednesay, the 23rd of October 2024, after a long and happy life, Walter has peacefully passed away. He was predeceased by his beloved wife Therese, dear father of Nancy (Blair) and Kathleen (Daniel), most amazing grandfather to Sarah (Bill), Sheilagh (Christopher) and Patrick and proud great-grandfather to Alexander, Felix and Dylan.
His home was the central anchor of his life, a place of comfort and safety where he and his wife enjoyed family and quiet pursuits. He has passed on his love of nature and the outdoors to his family including bird watching – his favorite bird was the owl and we will all remember him whenever owls cross our paths in the future.
Look, the trees are turning their own bodies into pillars of light,
are giving off the rich fragrance of cinnamon and fulfillment,
the long tapers of cattails are bursting and floating away over
the blue shoulders of the ponds, and every pond,
no matter what its name is, is nameless now.
Every year everything I have ever learned in my lifetime
leads back to this: the fires and the black river of loss
whose other side is salvation, whose meaning
none of us will ever know.
To live in this world you must be able
to do three things: to love what is mortal;
to hold it against your bones knowing
your own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes to let it go,
to let it go.
– In Blackwater Woods (Mary Oliver)
A private celebration of life will be held once our family can all travel back to Ottawa.
As an expression of sympathy, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreicated.
