I met Wally in the mid-80's when I began the Businesss Admin program at SIIT in Prince Albert. He was a great person, a great motivator, a great humourist...and a very compassionate and caring person. I can still picture him walking down the hall of the campus, either talking away or laughing, there were not many times he was silent, lol. I finished my program in 1989 and lost touch with Wally, but then I began work in the Finance departmet at SIIT Head Office. The first time I had contact with Wally wiped away the years absence we had, it was like we had only talked yesterday and he had not changed at all. He still was the loud talking guy with the big laugh, still teasing & joking. There are not very many people that have left a lasting impression with me but I can honestly say that Wally was definitely one of them. He was a big help in shaping my life and for that I am forever grateful. May he rest in peace and may the family treasure all the memories that they have of him and all the memories that are shared, such as mine.
