We are indeed sorry to learn of Wally’s passing. I taught at South Huron District High School with him in the Technical Dept. for many years. We moved to B.C. in 1995 but did manage to return for the teachers’ Retirement luncheon at Pete Aunger’s and had a visit with Wally. Wally and I had good working relations and often he would use my vehicles as teaching aids. I also appreciated his expertise and I am sure that many of his former students will remember him fondly. Please accept our deepest sympathy .

To my dearest family
Some things I’d like to say:
But first of all, to let you know,
That I arrived okay.
I’m writing this from heaven,
Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there’s no more tears of sadness;
Here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy
Just because I’m out of sight
Remember that I am with you
Every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you
When my life on earth was through
God picked me up and hugged me
And He said, “I welcome you……
It’s good to have you back again,
You were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family
They will be here later on.
There’s so much that they have to do
To help our mortal man.”
God gave me a list of things
That he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list
Was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night,
The day’s chores put to flight,
God and I are closest to you….
In the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth,
And all those loving years,
Because you’re only human
They are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry
It does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers,
Unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you
All that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you,
You wouldn’t understand.
One thing is for certain,
Though my life on earth is over
I’m closer to you now,
Than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead,
And many hills to climb;
But together we can do it –
One day at a time.
It was always my philosophy
And I’d like it for you too;
That as you give unto the world,
The world will give to you:
If you can help somebody
Who’s in sorrow and in pain;
Then you can say to God at night….
“My day was not in vain.”
And now I am contented
Knowing my life was worthwhile,
I remember as I passed along the way,
I made some people smile.
So if you meet somebody
Who is sad and feeling low;
Just lend a hand to pick him up,
As on your way you go.
And as you’re walking down the street
And you’ve got me on your mind;
I’m walking in your footsteps
Only half a step behind.
And when it’s time for you to go –
From that body to be free,
Remember you’re not going…..
You’re coming here to me!

To Our dear Jill and all your family,
Our sincerest condolencesto all of you on the passing of Wally. One of our lovliest memories of the 2 of you Jill, were what beautiful dancing partners you and Wally were at different functions, a joy to watch. Aiso to your children, we want them to know how warm and kind Wally always was and inviting to talk to as well as you Jill. Your demeanor always welcomed us. We admired Wally for his optimism, his willingness to help , and how he listened if you wished for his opinion.As a teacher and father he has accomplished much. It’simpossible to fathom the heartache you and your family along with Wally have experienced during this trial in the past few years. We will be praying for you.
Don & Donna Webster
Dear Jill & family:
Our thoughts and prayers are with you today. Many thoughts come rushing back quickly when I think of Wally. First of all, he was an excellent teacher to our own sons but mostly I remember him as a friend to room 110. He was so thoughtful and always willing to show the students skills, and techniques that they could use outside of the classroom. There was never any hesitation when placement of one of these students was difficult. He would always say “send him to me”
We know that Wally has suffered the last few years and you will have suffered that pain with him. Our deepest sympathy and God bless you all.
Sincerely,
Don & Donna Webster

Sincerely, Wilma Van Bussel .

Dearest Mrs. Haygarth, Bruce, Marie, Lynn, Joe,Wayne, Aaron, Mike & Tyla
Your father was the greatest neighbour to my dad. He enjoyed every spontanious tea, treat and talk with your father. Your family was always so welcoming to all of us as we grew up with all of you. Your dad was a man,, who in my mind could do anything. He was always working on a project and ALWAYS kept us Biondi kids entertained as we spent every morning at your house waiting for the bus. I was deeply saddened to hear of your loss and I will be praying for your family today and in the days to come.
Love,
Petra

I always remember you Mrs. Haygarth as being such a nice person…. very kind. Just wanted to say that Im thinking of you and I hope these next few days you take comfort in having your family close to you. Gentle Pace, Sincerely,
