Just over two weeks ago, we were celebrating the 76 year career of a true legend… a man who LOVED every single day. He loved his family, he loved his friends, he loved hockey and every single player that set foot on the ice. But those who knew him well also know that he loved every bowl of soup that he ever had, he loved sitting on his couch upstairs and letting the sun hit him in the face, he loved sitting on his chair in the garage, greeting every neighbor as they came in and out of the neighborhood. He loved that everyone at McDonald’s, CVS, Chase Bank and Great Clips knew him by name and went out of their way to take care of him. He loved the breakfast sandwiches that his wife Darlene made for him every single morning, he loved the start of hockey season and he loved seeing people succeed in hockey or in any other aspect of their life. He LOVED LIFE!
On October 3rd Wally passed away and we are all devastated. To honor his memory, find love in the little things today…enjoy a bowl of soup, appreciate the sunlight shining on your face, introduce yourself to someone that you wouldn’t otherwise, spend a special moment with someone and just love the moment for what it is because you never know when those moments will end. The hockey community loved you Wally and we will miss you.
