It is with great sadness that the family of Walter (Wally) Dixon announce his passing which took place peacefully on Wednesday June 23rd, 2021 at Peterborough Regional Heath Center at the age of 80.
Born November 21st 1940 of Buckhorn ON, Walter was the son of the late Malcolm Dixon and late Marion (Gillespie) Dixon.
Loving husband of 59 years to Linda (Walton) Dixon. Beloved father of Greg (Anne), Jeff (Shelley). Cherished Grandpa of Chad (Ryleigh), Jordon and Rylee-Joan and dear step-grandpa of Chrissy, Brock, and Andy.
Walter will be missed and remembered by his surviving brothers and sisters, Doug, Brad, Barb, and Betty, his sisters-in law Wendy, Carol and Darlene, brother-in-law Noble, as well as many nieces and nephews. Pre-deceased by his sister Carole and brothers Richard, Paul and Donny, sister-in-law Jessie, brothers-in-law, Jim, Pete and Tom.
Wally, was a General Contractor for most of his life and developed strong friendships and business relationships with people all over the Kawarthas. He loved to hunt, fish and tinker in his garage, usually fixing his truck or Skid-Steer. Wally never officially retired. He was always busy consulting on a job site or back in the woods splitting logs (which usually entailed fixing the wood-splitter) right up to a week before his admission to hospital.
Linda and the family would like to thank the Doctors and Nurses at Sunnybrook Health and Sciences Centre and Peterborough Regional Health Centre for their excellent care.
Wally will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts.
Cremation has taken place and a celebration of life will be held at a later date.
In Lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society in Walter’s memory would be appreciated.
