Liebe Nelly, lieber Matthias und Marcus,
vor 8 Jahren hatten wir das Glück Waldemar, deinen Mann, euren Vater und Karins Cousin, während unseres wunderschönen Aufenthalts bei euch in Kitchener gut und intensiv kennen zu lernen.
Es war eine unvergessliche Zeit, in der uns die besondere, warmherzige und wertvolle Persönlichkeit Waldemars für immer bereichert hat.
Wir sind ihm und dir, liebe Nelly, dafür sehr dankbar!
Wir werden uns bei der Trauerfeier mit euch von ihm verabschieden.
In Liebe eure
Karin und Götz

Dear Nellie and Family,
My sincere condolences. As a very long-time friend, and godmother to Marcus, there are so many cherished memories of Waldemar, and blessings of getting to know you all. Waldemar's intellect, curiosity, great music talents, and teaching qualities in music, linguistics, and German are just a few of the many qualities that shone throughout his life, not to mention his love of nature, and writings and compositions, and his wonderful sense of humour.
Sending loving thoughts, blessings, and prayers.
Isabella

Dear Nellie and family,
It was a privilege to care for both you and Waldemar over so many years in my practice. Waldemar had a way of brightening every visit—his gentle humour, and the quiet gratitude he carried into the treatment room each visit. I always looked forward to seeing him, and to seeing the two of you together. The warmth between you was unmistakable; it spoke of a lifetime of partnership, patience, and deep affection.
Please know how deeply saddened we are by his passing. I hope that the memories you shared—the laughter, the stories, the simple comfort of being side by side—bring you strength in the days ahead. Waldemar was a good man, and it was an honour to know him.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Klaus and Sylvia

Willy Fleras posted a condolence
Tuesday, February 17, 2026
My name is Willy Fleras. I was a member of the Scholtes band (accordian) from 1965 to 1967. Wally would pick me up every week after school and drive me to the family farm in West Montrose for rehearsals. Even though I was only 14 years old (and Wally was 21), he treated me with respect - as an equal. We became very close, playing every Saturday in dance halls and clubs across southern Ontario.
Wally was an amazing musician who truly loved his craft. I recall drawing the ire of his father when we would jazz up the playing of O Canada!
Even though it has been 50+ years since we last met, I was very sad to read of his passing. My deepest sympathies to his family. The memories will never fade.
