Walter (Wally) Herbert Berge

Walter passed peacefully at home on Thursday, December 26, 2013 at the age of 81.

Born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Wally and his family moved to Vancouver, BC where he spent most of his early years. He met Helen and they were married in 1958 and moved to Powell River a year later.

Wally was known fondly for his love of airplanes and flying and was a long standing member of Westview Flying Club. He worked for several companies in Powell River, including Powell River Parts and Speed and Stan’s Automotive. His last working years were spent with the Forestry on the newly constructed canoe route and happily helped to maintain it until his retirement.

He was very appreciative for the fine care he received at Powell River General Hospital, Home Care and BC Ambulance Service.

Walter is lovingly remembered by his wife of 55 years Helen, his children Valerie (Tony), Janet (Jacques) and Lawrence and grandchildren Caitlin, Hannah, Rachel, Jonathan and Samantha.

In lieu of flowers, a donation to Powell River General Hospital Foundation would be appreciated. A memorial in Wally’s memory will be held on Saturday, January 18 at 11 am at Westview Flying Club.
