After serving in the RAF, Wally immigrated to Canada and in 1956 married Patricia Jean Corley of Vancouver. They moved to the Okanagan where Wally worked in the insurance industry, but made time to build a new house for his now growing family, tend to his potato field in the back yard and take up the local hobby of wine making. After retiring, Wally vigorously pursued his love of driving and spent much time exploring the highways and back roads of the
Pacific Northwest. Prede-ceased by his brother Alistair and his wife Pat. Wally is survived by his children Joe (Linda) and Gloria Knowles; grandchildren: Lindsey, Megan, Natasha, Joel, Amber, Alysha Knowles, Gordie, Daniel and Kim Harrison. Loved by all who knew him Wally will be remembered as a hard working, independent and critical thinker, yet who expressed compassion and generosity in everything.
