I have only come across this notice today, July 25, 2014. Walter and Helen and Brian and Lorraine were in Ferndale Bible Church, Peterborough ON when I pastored there for 7 years. I loved them dearly and found them all to be the sincerest and authentic believers and friends. I moved to Toronto and then to British Columbia so connections were broken. I am grateful to have known Walter and Helen.
Walt was a wonderful Sunday School teacher many years ago, and has remained a great friend ever since then. It was always a joy to me when our paths crossed over the years, whether professionally or lunch together. The wonderful thing is that our path will cross again when we join him in the Father's home. As I am now living in China, I won't be able to be with you for the celebration of Walt's life, but will be in prayer for you. God bless and comfort you! In Christ, Wayne
Walt was such a kind and generous person. He gave of himself and his talent without a second thought. I will never forget the help he provided to me while I was still getting settled at St. Thomas Cemetery and that he went out of his way for the families he served. Walt will be remembered in the industry for his work ethic and kindness to all. Helen, Brian my deepest condolences to you and your family. May God's peace be with you at this time.
Helen, My deepest sympathy to you and your family at this time. I remember Walter's kindness and humor and I know he will be deeply missed.
I was saddened to read of Walter's passing. He had such a great sense of humour and always had a kind and encouraging word for any who would listen. We have confidence in God's promises for this life and the one hereafter and rejoice that Walter is free of pain. Romans 8:35-39. Our prayers are with Helen and the family for the days ahead.
Dear Helen, my deepest sympathies and prayers are with you and your family at this time. I always considered Walter to be a friend and encourager and I know he will be missed. May you have a very real sense of the comforting presence of our Heavenly Father with you at this difficult time in your life.
I am so sorry that Walter has left us. He was so kind and gentle, and always had a way of making you feel welcome. He will be sorely missed.
Walter, the happiest person I ever knew. He was not just a kind friend but also a person who taught us how to be happy and joyful in life. Peace, prayers and blessings to you.
Joyce and I send our sincerest prayers to Helen and the children. Walter was a true gentleman and a credit to the memorial industry.
Keeping your family close in prayer as you journey through this time of grieving and remembering a dearly loved father, husband and grandfather. God's peace will uphold you.
Our condolences to you Helen and your dear family. May you all experience God's peace in your grief. What an inspiration Walter has been, being filled with God's grace and strength in his interaction with others. We have been privileged to meet him. Our prayers and love are with you. Mary and John Tofflemire
Walter was a gentleman and a gentle man and in all my meetings with him over the years never heard him say an unkind word about anyone.He will be greatly missed.
We are thinking and praying for all of you at this time as you grieve the passing of a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and friend. May the knowledge of Mr Dancy's final home be a comfort to you. God bless you all. David and Nancy Titley
Even though we never had the opportunity to know Walter we do he was a wonderful man and this is evident in the lives of those he influenced. Helen, Brian & Chris and girls, Lorraine & Jim and girls, you will be in our prayers over the next few days and months as you adjust to life without Walter. May God fill your hearts with peace and comfort.
Our sincerest condolences to Walter Dancy's family. Cora Bryce - OMBA colleague CDNB Divine Glow, Inc
