Theadore Murray Walton (Ted)

July 4, 1950 – December 19, 2024

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Theadore (Ted) Murray Walton on December 19, 2024, at Northumberland Hills Hospital, Cobourg, Ontario, after a long battle following a stroke in 2013.

Ted was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend who will be deeply missed. He was an avid baseball enthusiast who loved coaching his sons and assisting his nephews in their coaching years. Ted cherished Sunday mornings spent playing baseball with his Legion buddies and was an active member of Branch 178 Bowmanville, Ontario. He especially enjoyed organizing and selling buttons for the Santa Claus Parade. Known affectionately as "TEDDER" by Adam and Jason’s friends, Ted was a storyteller with a knack for bringing smiles to everyone around him.

Ted had a favorite saying that defined his life: "Work Hard, Play Smart, and always be a team."

Predeceased by his mother Audrey (Campney Gibson), Ted is survived by his father Murray Walton, his wife of 50 years, Elizabeth (Pearce), and his two sons, Adam (Kristy) and Jason (Jessica). He was a proud and devoted grandfather to Wyatt, Colby, Kendal, and Avery. Ted is also survived by his dear sister Susan and brothers Robin (Reta) and Jay (Sharon), along with many brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews, and extended family members who will miss him dearly.

A graveside celebration of Ted's life will take place at a later date at Bond Head Cemetery, Newcastle, Ontario.

Hugo Wall

March 25, 1935 - April 13, 2017

Surrounded by the family he loved, Hugo Wall left this Earth on April 13, 2017. He leaves behind countless cherished memories and is dearly missed by his wife of 53 years, Monika Wall. Hugo is forever in the hearts of his children, Enoch Wall of Northern California, and Esther Wall of Ontario, Canada.

Hugo was predeceased by his parents, Lilli Zweygardt and Waldemar Wall, and followed in death by his dear brother, Egon Wall of Germany, in 2018.

Born in 1935 in a small German-speaking farming community near the Black Sea in Ukraine, Hugo experienced a life shaped by resilience and faith. As World War II ended, Hugo’s family, like many others, fled the area with little more than horses and buggies, leaving behind their prosperous farm. During their journey, tragedy struck, and Hugo and Egon lost their father. The family eventually resettled in southern Germany, where their ancestors had originated generations earlier.

Despite the hardships of displacement and limited resources, Hugo became a successful electrical apprentice and secured a stable job. In 1964, he married Monika, and together they pursued dreams of adventure and a new life. Their journey brought them across the Atlantic, where they lived in upstate New York and Ontario before settling in Kitchener. There, they raised their children before moving to Port Elgin to enjoy retirement on the shores of Lake Huron, where Hugo found joy in water skiing, fishing, and boating. In his later years, he built a quiet life in the Greater Toronto Area, in a house he constructed himself, savoring long walks, music, and books.

Hugo’s deep faith guided him throughout his life, instilling strength and optimism. He was a steadfast provider, offering spiritual and financial support to family and friends. Hugo embodied the spirit of the immigrant who worked tirelessly to create a better life, leaving a legacy of love, perseverance, and faith.

Hugo will be dearly missed, but we find comfort in knowing his faith has led him home. A private graveside service was held on Easter weekend, 2017, honoring his life and the profound impact he made on those around him.
