Walter Michael Waritsky
It is with great sadness that the family announces Walter’s passing on February 11, 2019.
Walter was born October 28, 1927 in Mountain Park, Alberta, the first son to Anna and Jim Waritsky.
Walter will be fondly remembered by his daughter Shawn and son Paul (Lynn), brothers Edward, Alex (Linda), sister Mary (Gordon) Carey, and nieces and nephews who will miss him forever. He was predeceased by his daughter Michelle.
Walter’s request was that there be no formal funeral service. A private family memorial is planned for the spring.
Should friends so desire, donation in memory of this gentle, caring man may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
This was something that Dad asked me to read to him the last time we visited at Jubilee Lodge. I gladly did so for he and his table mates. My condolences to all our family and friends! Love you Dad! Gone, but never will you be forgotten in our hearts.
Crossing the Bar
Alfred Lord Tennyson, 1809 – 1892
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;
For tho’ from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have cross’d the bar.
-Shawn M Waritsky
