Walter Arthur
Schultz
On Monday, December 8, 2014, Walter Arthur
Schultz passed peacefully into the arms of his Lord. He was surrounded by family during his short
hospital stay, in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Left to
forever cherish Walter’s memory are his loving wife and best friend, Dorothea,
with whom he shared his life for a wonderful 62 years. Walter also leaves his children, Laurie
(Brian), David (Karen), Brenda (Bob), and Mark (Kristine); ten grandchildren
and their partners; two joyous great-grandsons; sister-in-law, Marlene, and
brother-in-law, Al.
Walter
was born on January 16, 1928 in Winnipeg where he spent most of his life. The Lutheran Church was a major influence in Walter’s
upbringing, and he was a member of Messiah Lutheran Church for 46 years. He worked as a Chartered Accountant for
several years before Walter felt the call to serve the church as a financial
officer. He left his mark on the
Lutheran Church of Canada before moving to a new challenge with the Lutheran
World Federation in Geneva, Switzerland.
Walter treasured the many friends he made along his journey, one that
took him to many places around the world.
Walter’s family was his pride and joy, and he
was proud of all their accomplishments. Walter’s
greatest pleasure was seeing their successes, and watching their faith grow and
flourish. He was a source of wisdom and strength to his family, his friends,
and his colleagues. Walter’s kind and gentle strength will be greatly
missed. His life of truth, love, and
faith are values we all strive to match.
A Celebration of Walter’s Life will be held on
Saturday, December 13, 2014 in Messiah Lutheran Church, 400 Rouge Road,
Winnipeg, MB, at 11:00 a.m. with Pastor Carol Janke, presider.
In lieu
of flowers, donations can be made to Messiah Lutheran Church, or Cancer Care
Manitoba, 675 McDermot Avenue, Winnipeg, MB, R3E 0V9.
The family wishes to express their sincere appreciation
for the compassionate care provided by Cancer Care and the staff on Ward GA4 at
Health Sciences Centre.
