Slow "Toad” Walter
5TH of APRIL, 1925 - 2ND of APRIL, 2014
Slow has joined his predeceased wife Vernis, their parents and siblings. He is survived by his daughter Susan (Dr. Brian Sanderson), son David (Karri); Susan’s children Brett, Julie (Rick Struble) and Matthew Bespalko; Julie’s children Katelynn and William; David’s children Christina and Brock as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Born to immigrant parents, “Toad” grew up in Archive and later moved to the multicultural population of South Hill. He attended Westmount School and A.E. Peacock Collegiate where he enjoyed all sports and excelled at hockey and swimming. The Depression Era spared no one and like others, “Toad” became a master of all trades whether it was welding, carpentry, or farm mechanics. He qualified as a finishing carpenter from STI. In winter he worked for the Department of Renewable Resources. In summer he built many homes, grain bins, rigid frame buildings and quonsets. As a farmer he understood and could predict weather. He loved the outdoors, especially camping, hunting and fishing. “His memory will be Eternal, not only with family, but with a great many friends.” A Prayer Service will be held at Holy Trinity Orthodox Church, 725 – 9th Ave. SW.

Isaiah 55:9-10(OSB)
But as heaven is distant from earth, so is My way distant from your way, and your thoughts from My mind. For as rain comes down, or snow from heaven, and does not return until it saturates the earth, and brings forth and produces, and gives seed to the sower and bread for food.
