It is with profound sadness that we
announce the passing of Courtney Lawrence Walton
(Larry) at the age of 82. Larry passed away peacefully
at the Drew Nursing Home on Monday October 16, 2023, surrounded by his
loving family and the caring staff of the Drew Nursing
Home.
Born in Little Shemogue, New Brunswick,
Larry was a loyal and dedicated son, brother, husband, uncle, father,
grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend. At the young age of
fourteen, Larry developed a passion for fishing. He would later build
his own fishing boats, ‘Heather and Girls’ and the
‘Laze C’ on which he had a wonderful career as a
lobster fisherman. His two daughters, fondly known as
‘Larry’s Boys’ around the wharf, had the
joy of working alongside their father, learning firsthand how to work
hard, and always have fun along the way. A motto Larry
carried throughout his life.
Larry’s family and friends
will cherish his zest for life. His diagnosis of Parkinson’s
Disease did not define him. He enjoyed bowling, gardening, music, and
carpentry. He was a skilled skater and played hockey with the Murray
Corner Honkers as a young man. Forever a sweet tooth, you could always
find him making his daily trip to the Lake’s General Store
to enjoy a cup of coffee and conversation with the locals or grab an
ice-cream cone with his grandchildren.
Larry will be remembered for his kind
and gentle demeanor, his innate sense of humor, his undying love of
the Toronto Maple Leafs, his strength and perseverance, and his
unwavering love.
Larry will be dearly missed by his
loving wife of 59 years, Heather (Knowles) Walton, Sackville; children
Angela Walton (Chris Tracy), of Saint John, Lana (Peter) Ward, of
Sackville; his 5 grandchildren, Courtney (Jonathan) Smith, Zachary
Silas, Emily (Ryan) McNeill, Colby Ward (Eden Lunn) and Molli Ward; 2
great grandchildren, Clara and Gabriel Smith; siblings, Rodney
(Marilyn) Walton, Lillian Trenholm, Ivan (Sue) Walton, Janet (Arden)
Trenholm, Carolyn (Neil) Allen; brothers-in-law, Derek (Lorraine)
Knowles, Michael Knowles, and Kevin (Lynn) Knowles, as well as many
nieces and nephews; and his lifelong friend, Gary
Allen.
Larry was predeceased by his parents,
Courtney and Clara (Stright), his sister Cheryl Walton, and his
brother-in-law Dewey Trenholm.
Our family would like to thank the Drew
Nursing Home for the exceptional care that was provided to Larry
during his time there, as well as the loving care given to our family
throughout his stay, and especially the moments before his passing.
