OBITUARIES
- Clarence Blake Walt
-
- On Monday, June 14, 1999, Clarence Blake Walt, late of Weyburn,
passed away at Wascana Hospital, Regina, at the age of 89 years.
Predeceased by his father and mother, Ira and Lucy Walt; two
brothers: Herman and Noble Walt; four sisters: Madeline Kerslake,
Irene Williams, Mae Kempthorne, and Elva Seavy; two nephews-in-law:
Lawrence Brady and Russ Carr. Clarence is survived by one nephew,
Art (Gladys) Kempthorne of Ladner, BC; eight nieces: Elva (Don)
Turner of Weyburn; Myrtle Brady of Weyburn; June Carr of Weyburn;
Marjorie (Vern) Domes of Weyburn; Delva (Norm) Rebin of Saskatoon;
Donna (Frank) Zimka of North Vancouver, BC; Carol (Dave) Jarvis
of Florida and Vee Lynne (George) Pearson of Saskatoon; as well
as numerous grand and great grand nieces and nephews. Clarence
was born and educated in the McTaggart area. The Walt home was
filled with music; and he played the saxophone in the family
orchestra. Music was always a part of his life and remained his
primary pleasure in his latter years. His initial career as a
storekeeper in small town Saskatchewan was interrupted by World
War II. Although he was wounded in the Italian campaign, he returned
to service for the liberation of Paris. He was welcomed home
by his family, and like many veterans, he opted for a career
change, building cabinets. In 1948, he and his brother, Noble,
built a new home in Weyburn for their parents, and Clarence was
their live-in companion as they aged. During this time he honed
his card playing skills with cronies in McTaggart and Weyburn;
and honed his sweet tooth on the goodies baked by sisters and
nieces. A graveside service was held Saturday, June 19 at 4:30
p.m. from McTaggart Cemetery, McTaggart, with Rev. John Ferrier
officiating. Members of the Royal Canadian Legion formed an Honor
Guard and held a Last Post Service. In lieu of flowers, for friends
so wishing, donations may be made in his memory to the Southeast
Regional College, "SIAST Carpentry Program," Box 2003,
Weyburn, Sask. S4H 2Z9. Arrangements were entrusted to Fletcher
Funeral Chapels Ltd., Weyburn.
