LLOYD STANLEY WALKER
Following a brief illness, Lloyd Stanley Walker died on Tuesday, October 25, 2016 at the Grace Hospital in Winnipeg, Manitoba at the age of 76 years. Lloyd was diagnosed in late May 2016 with cancer of the bladder. Remaining to forever cherish Lloyd’s memory are his three daughters, Kim, Lynn (Tony) and Verity (Rod); as well as his grandchildren Taylor, Davis and Kennedy. He was predeceased by his beloved wife Georgette in 2007; and his daughter Cynthia who died at the age of 33 years. On June 24, 1940 Lloyd was born in Georgetown, Prince Edward Island where he lived with his parents Spurgeon and Irene Walker and siblings Peggy, Carol and Kenny. In the late 1950’s Lloyd joined the Royal Canadian Artillery and he served with Z Battery. Postings included but were not limited to, two tours in Germany, CFB Gagetown, and CFB Shilo. In 1992 his family was posted to Winnipeg where he retired from the Canadian Forces Recruiting Centre as Sergeant. We will always remember Lloyd for his sense of humor, his long drives across Canada to visit family, his loyalty to the Chicago Blackhawks and how he took full credit for his fashion sense: a pair of sweat pants, old t-shirt, accompanied by socks, sandals and a fanny pack. Lloyd’s Funeral Service will be held on Monday October 31, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. in the 17 Wing Community Chapel, 2235 Silver Avenue, Winnipeg with Padre Major Owen Budden, presider. Lloyd was an active and proud member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #4. A celebration of life will immediately follow his Service in the #4 Legion located at 1755 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg.
