Obituary of Walter Edward Treherne

Two weeks shy of his 90th birthday, Walter passed away peacefully at his home in Stettler with his loving wife Nola, and loyal canine companion, Gunther, by his side. Walter was a loving husband, devoted father, and faithful friend, survived by his sister Elaine, his seven children, Bob (Pat), Susan (Bruce), Maureen (Alan), Georgina (Phil), Judy (Phil), Brian (Monique), Michael, three step daughters, Beverley (Greg), Kimberley (Daren), Sandy (Kevin), 17 grandchildren, 5 step grandchildren, 18 great grandchildren, as well as many extended family members, particularly Jenny & Burrell, and many friends. Walter was predeceased by his beloved first wife, Mary, in 2006. A decorated WWII Veteran, First Seaman with the Canadian Navy, Walter was commissioned to the Royal Navy in England as a Radar Man. Following the war, Walter returned to Montreal to await the arrival of his wife Mary and son Bob, born in Belfast, Ireland. After raising their family of seven in Montreal, Walter and Mary relocated to Toronto to continue his long and successful career with Pascal Furniture. They retired to Alberta. He enjoyed travelling across the country visiting his children and grandchildren, to the delight of everyone. His quick wit, warm humor, and unmistakable smile, with an eagerness to lend a hand, an ear, or a shoulder, Walter will be dearly missed by all who were blessed to have him in their lives. In keeping with his wishes, no formal service will be held, and donations may be made in his honor to the Salvation Army or the Stettler Cowboy Church. The last words written on his list of wishes: "LOVE YOU ALL".
