It is with sadness that the family announces the passing of their dearly beloved father, Walter Honce, aged 90, on August 9, 2011. Walter was born on January 18, 1921 in Seven Sisters, Manitoba, and grew up in the area. He was the eldest of three sons born to Gustav and Olga Herzog Honke. In 1943 Walter married Ada Adele Biedler in Red lake, Ontario. They had three children: Barbara (Finn) Hestdalen of Kelowna, George (Dina) Honke of Calgary, and Myles (Lilli) Honce of Kelowna. Walter was predeceased by his parents and brothers, and in 2007 his wife, Ada. He is survived by his children and their spouses, by eight grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. The family wishes to thank Dr. Andrew Watson for his kind care of dad in his last days. Also, the staff on Rose Lane at Sutherland Hills Rest Home for their wonderful attention and care of dad. He appreciated enormously their kindness, especially Brenda, Nicole, Dennis, Mike and Remy. And thank you, Angus, for frequently coming at a moment’s notice to fix dad’s T.V. Also, thank you, Tony – dad loved your faithful visits. A burial and memorial service was held for Walter on August 20, 2011. Walter will be greatly missed by his family and all who knew him.
