Walter Stephen Blundon, 86, passed away peacefully at home, ‘The Healing Place’, on Saturday, April 12, 2025. He has gone home to be with his bride of 59 years, Diana, who passed in 2020.
Walter, affectionately known as ‘Wally-Guy,’ was the son of Stephen and Mary of Nova Scotia. On his way to Australia, he became smitten with Diana, who had recently immigrated from England. He told her, “I don’t know about you, but I plan on getting married in the spring.” The love affair never ended. Wally and Di raised their six children in Kitchener before retiring to Wiarton.
Walter was the brother of Stanley (pre), Vi, Fred, Alonzo (pre), David (pre), Bernice, John (pre), Edith, and Frank. He was a loving brother-in-law and friend to Carol, Hazel (pre), and a close brotherly friend of their cousin, Donald Rawls.
He was the father of Timothy, Catherine, Lionel, Jonathon, Christopher, and Sarah-Jean (Charles); Poppa to Heather, Chelsea, Scott, Ashley (Justin), Candice, Jordan, and Justin; and Great-Grandfather to Isaac and Malia. Walter was also a friend and email pen-pal to many, sharing his poetry, photography, words of wisdom, and rants.
Private arrangements entrusted to the George Funeral Home, Wiarton. A private celebration of Walter and Diana’s life will be held for close friends and family at a later date.
The family would like to send a heartfelt thank you to Dr. George Harpur and nurse Tammy. Expressions of remembrance to the charity of your choice would be appreciated. Messages of condolence may be sent through www.georgefuneralhome.com.
