In Celebration of
Walter Barnes
March 22, 1930 - June 25, 2025
With a mixture of profound love and sadness we announce the passing of our beloved dad and grandpa, Walter.
Known by many, but certainly loved by all, Dad lived life simply and fully. Vacations spent with family and friends, legendary casino visits, gardening out back, shredded wheat and PBJ sandwiches, enduring painful Leafs seasons or just home bodying with Mum… Dad’s greatest joys were found with family.
Predeceased by his son, Kevin (Sharon), Dad is survived by the love of his life and wife of 67 years, Winnifred, his sons Kerry (Christine), Keith (Antonietta), and all of his grandchildren: Stephen, Kyle, Dakota, Sierra, Christopher and Nicholas.
Dad leaves behind a legacy of love and quiet understanding.
When you’ve lived 95 years, you’ve just about outlived ‘em all… so the family will have a private service. We’ll have a celebration of his life later this summer at the kingdom on Brock Ave for all his extended family and friends… to share laughter, stories and great memories. Details will follow.
