Walter Frank Paley
November 19, 1926 – September 29, 2018
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Walter Paley.
He will be sadly missed by his loving wife of 70 years, Ann, his children Ron (Qiuyan), Jo-Ann, Janice, his grandchildren Philip, Melissa, Angie (Dwayne), Derek (Katherine), his great-grandchildren Jasmine, Cedar, Chloe, Daniel, Jasper, and by nieces, nephews and friends.
He was predeceased by his son-in-law David, his parents Philip and Mary, his brother Joey (Vicky), sisters-in-law Sophie (Bill) and Mary (Norman).
Walter was born in Winnipeg. He was raised in the north end living on Selkirk Ave., and attended both Florence Nightingale and Isaac Newton schools. He was a fine musician. He played saxophone, clarinet and accordion in a band, and played many occasions throughout Winnipeg. He also played in Winnipeg Beach where he met the love of his life, Ann.
They married and raised their family living on Burrows Ave. The family enjoyed trips, twice a year to the farm in Virden, leaving lasting, wonderful memories. In later years, the family enjoyed a cottage at Falcon Lake which both children and grandchildren loved.
Walter was also a competitive sportsman. He loved handball and he received many trophies. He was an avid bowler and enjoyed golf, tennis and baseball.
He worked, until his retirement at Charles M. Home Ltd., selling men’s suiting material, travelling western Canada.
Both Walter and Ann shared a love of gardening. They moved from Burrows Ave. 45 years ago, to a home on an acre of land in West St Paul, where together they enjoyed a large garden.
The Catholic Church was an important part of family life. First for many years St. Peter’s Church, and then St Theresa’s Church. The communities and many friends were all very special to them.
Our family thanks the staff at Golden West Nursing Home for the wonderful care they gave Dad.
A Funeral Mass will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, October 11, 2018 at St. Theresa’s Church, 3597 Main St., West St. Paul.
In lieu of flowers donations can be made to a charity of your choice in Walter’s honour.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Walter Frank Paley 2018..
