The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart… and with heavy hearts our family announces Ed’s passing at Chapman House, Owen Sound, Ontario in his 75^th year on Tuesday, August 25^th, 2020.

Forever loved husband of Brenda (Stoddard) and cherished father of Jason (Laura) and Leigh Walter-Gantert (Thomas). Ed leaves behind four precious and adored grandchildren,  Eve and Evan (Gantert) and Kyle and Eric (Walter). Dear brother of Norman Walter (Micki Garrett) Midhurst, James Walter (Barbara), Chatsworth and brother-in-law of Judy Walter, East Linton. Lovingly remembered by his in-laws Donna and Bryan Reynolds of Belwood and Nancy and Doug Bishop of Owen Sound.

Predeceased by his parents Mac and Muriel Walter, dear brother John A. Walter and much loved son-in-law of the late Jack Stoddard and Betty Stoddard. Ed will be fondly remembered by his many nieces, nephews and extended family.

Born and raised in Owen Sound Ed touched many lives along his life’s journey. He had a very fulfilling career with Ontario Hydro, was a member of the Owen Sound Crescent Club, Owen Sound Real Estate Board and held various positions within Knox United Church (Georgian Shores). Ed’s real passion was the Owen Sound Blood Donor Clinic where he served several years as Coordinator of Volunteers. He generously gave back to the community working endless hours, ensuring each clinic was a success and was instrumental in acquiring many new donors. He was also very proud to be a lifelong donor himself.

Ed will hold a special place in the memories of many…his family, dear friends and work colleagues for his great smile, infectious sense of humour, passion for life, immense love of family and foremost his very generous heart.

Cremation has taken place and a memorial visitation will be held at the Brian E. Wood Funeral Home, 250 – 14^th St. W., Owen Sound, N4K 3X8, 519-376-7492, on Wednesday, September 2, 2020, from 6 – 9 p.m.  A private memorial service will follow at a later date.
