WENN, Wallace "Wally" - May 7, 1923 - January 31, 2023
It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Wally Wenn, just shy of his 100th birthday.
Wally will be together again with his beloved wife, Alice, who passed in 2020, after 77 years of marriage.
He will be sadly missed by his children, Sharon (Drew), Craig (Pauline) and Mark (Melanie).
He was the cherished grandfather to Melanie Knox-Gradowski (Mark), Megan (Rick), Kristy-Leigh (Dana), Adam (Krissie), Nicola (Peter), Brandon and Evan (Cindy); and great-grandfather to Gabriel, Sebastian, Mia, Jacob, Briar, Ellie, Mack, Sam, Jack and Olen.
Wally served his country during WWII in the Royal Canadian Airforce, Typhoon Squadron, The Wildcats #143 Wing. Just prior to his deployment, he married Alice, his childhood sweetheart. Wally was quite the amateur carpenter who with the help of his sons, Mark and Craig, built the Muskoka family cottage on Horseshoe Lake.
He had a great personality, was loved by everyone, had a great laugh and loved a good laugh.
A private family graveside service will take place May 2, 2023, and a Celebration of Life will be held in early spring.
A special thank you to Heleina Bobbitt, his care giver, who was amazing to Wally.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation.
