I am saddened and shocked to hear about Walter's death from cancer. You have my wife's and my deepest sympathy.
I knew Walter most of my life, especially while my family lived on Duke Street and his lived at the corner of Duke and Wellington in St. Catharines. Walter, Stan and Jane used to babysit myself and my sister Judy in those days. My wife knew both brothers from her working for the school board off and on when we first got married 43 years ago. The whole family were great people and everyone loved them. Walter will be sadly missed, not seeing his mostly constant smile every day.
My wife and I now live in BC and am sorry that we could not attend Walter's service. We have also both had cancer in 2001 but were lucky and so far we have both been cured.
Take care and again our sincere sympathies.
Wayne and Joan Bennett

Dear Uncle Walt,
This is so hard to let you go. You teased me with "Sheri baby"....got me to swim with my head underwater.....and your home was my 2nd home. You just are my Uncle Walt and I will miss you so so much.
Love forever, Sheri and Jon Willms.

Mrs. Oprzedek, Wally & Carolyn, Kim & Mark, Tricia & Kevin and families,
Please know that we are thinking of you during this difficult time. I know what an amazing man Mr. Oprzedek was. I always remember seeing him smiling in the halls at Lakeport. Kim, I know how close the two of you were. It was a great feeling to see the two of you together. When I would see him at the soccer games cheering on his Grandchildren, his face just beamed with pride. What a legacy he leaves in all of you. He will be greatly missed.
Love,
Pam, Don, Abby and Aidan

Dear Oprzedek
It is with great sadness and shock that heard of your husband/fathers passing. I had the opportunity to meet Walter several times through athletics and always found him to be a class act. I had the pleasure of teaching Tricia at Governor Simcoe and you were an extension Tricia of your father and I know he was extremely proud of you. Life is never fare and often takes those from us we least expect. Please take your father(s)/husbands memory and laugh and enjoy all the great times you had together. I know that is exactly what he would want you to do. My thoughts are with your entire family at this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Kevin Moore

Dear Kim, Mark and family,
I am shocked and so sad to hear the loss of your dad. My thoughts are with you during this very difficult time. I have very fond memories of your dad, cheering us on in baseball to sweet victory, dropping off the goodies for you that he got at the local market on Saturday mornings and how his face lit up when he had his grandkids at the Y. Kim, your dad was truly amazing, he touched so many lives and his love for family and his friendly spirit will continue to live on through all those he touched. Kim, again my thoughts are with you and your family. xxxooo

It is with great sadness that I offer my condolences to the family of Walt. I had the pleasure to have Walt as a PE teacher and football coach at Lakeport SS. He always had a big smile on his face and emphasized the lighter side of life. It is all of these things that Walt taught everyone he met. I can only hope we can all take a piece of what he had to offer his family, friends and students ... the world would be a much better place to live in.
