We Remember
HALLS, Walter Joseph
March 15, 1930 — September 12, 2021
Our beloved Walter Halls, 91, passed away peacefully on September 12, 2021. He was predeceased by his loving wife, Dorothy, in 2017 after 44 years of marriage. Walter was also predeceased by his parents; brother Dave Halls; sister Betty Green; and brothers-in-law George Green, Vic Green, and John Conway-Brown. Walter is survived by his children Stephen (Renee) Halls of Mission, BC, Linda (Garth) Kuroaka of Lumby, BC, Gary (Astrid) Halls of Medicine Hat, AB, and Laurie (Ron) Loewen of Nanaimo, BC; his stepchildren Sharon (Murray) Wallace of Regina, SK, Roy (June) Wodtke of Edmonton, AB, and Gayle (Norbert) Fork of, Kelowna BC; his sisters Irene Green of 100 Mile House, BC and Phyllis Conway-Brown of Port Coquitlam, BC; as well as his many grandchildren, great and great-great-grandchildren, and his numerous nieces and nephews.
Always willing to lend a helping hand, Walter was thoughtful, loving and kind. He was a member of the Kelowna Wagon Wheelers Square Dance Club.
He was known to enjoy motorcycle rides with his wife and friends. Walter also could be found working on his 1937 Chevrolet Coupe, which he enjoyed immensely.
He loved to travel and explore the places where he would go. However, nothing could compare to the company he kept with his family and friends. He loved them all deeply.
Walter will be missed by all who were privileged to know and be known by him.

Our deepest condolences to all the family and friends. Rest in peace Walt!
I would have loved to have known him, he sounds just like me, we would have had so much in common. I unfortunately didn’t have the opportunity to have a real family upbringing that cared about family enough to be able to know what sounds like an amazing, loving,caring man. My heart breaks for those I also haven’t had the opportunity to know, which I would love nothing more. To hear the stories from those who knew him most makes me so happy and so sad at the same time, to have someone so loving and caring and not to know him😪 literally devastating. I’m so sorry for your loss of this amazing man please accept my apologies for not being there for you in this time of loss and grief. I love you all even though you don’t know me. I am walters granddaughter emily. Gary was my (dad).
Xoxo. From my whole ♥
