Walter Thomas Sr ELLIOTT

Walter Thomas Elliott, Sr. March 28, 1906 - January 28, 2007 Peacefully at Hamilton Continuing Care Residence on Sunday, January 28, 2007 Walter Thomas Elliott Sr. in his 101 year of Freelton. Predeceased by his wife Lorraine (1990) and his daughter Marilyn (1984). Dear father of Art (Ann) of Stoney Creek, Walt Jr. of Freelton, Eileen Simon (Don) of Burlington, Marg Curtis (Steve) of Freelton, and Doug (Lou Ann) of Dundas. Survived by 10 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren. Walter's chosen vocation was farming. He took great pride in honest hard work and the result was a well earned reputation for always producing fresh fruit and vegetables of a quality that was second to none in the Hamilton area. In his retirement years he was able to spend time at the cabin on Sky Lake in Bruce county where his love of nature and the outdoors could be experienced first hand, and where fishing became his favourite passtime. Also at this time he rekindled his interest and talent for painting and writing. His legacy will live on through his beautiful watercolours and books of poetry and prose. Cremation has taken place. Friends may call at the KITCHING, STEEPE& LUDWIG FUNERAL HOME, 146 Mill St., N., Waterdown on Tuesday evening 7-9 p.m. Funeral Mass will be held at ST. THOMAS THE APOSTLE CATHOLIC CHURCH, 715 Centre Rd., Waterdown on Wednesday, January 31, 2007 at 3 p.m. If desired donations may be made to the charity of your choice.
