Walter Burrows (3 Oct 1932 - 21 Nov 2017)

In loving memory of Walter Burrows who sadly passed away on 21st November 2017.
My Dad was the kindest, most generous man you could ever meet but then you all know that.
He loved people, all people, and his warmth and humour ensured that people loved him back.
He wasn't particularly ambitious, he lead a simple life.
He worked hard and laughed often.
He was passionate about his family, his business and freemasonry.
He enjoyed riding his motor bike (into his late 70s!)
He loved playing snooker and cards at his club.
He enjoyed holidays in Cyprus (same hotel with the same friends)
He often told stories, never letting the truth get in the way of a good tale.
He liked tending his Koi Carp, growing tomatoes and listening to Tony Hancock.
An ordinary life but not an ordinary man.
An extraordinary man who touched the life of all he met.
Remembered by everyone, from the car wash guy in the Town Hall Car Park to the family who held him so close, as a true gentleman.
People often use the phrase "being a Wally" in a derogatory way but for me it is a huge compliment.
If we could be just a little like our "Wally", my Dad, we could be better people.
