Walter Ries, of Grand Forks BC, passed away June 28, 2020. He is survived by his two daughters, Sheryl and Rose.
Walter, 87 years old, was born in Switzerland. He was always an extremely hard worker willing to lend a hand.
His passion and his pride were his woodcarvings, all done by hand, and his bountiful garden. He loved being outdoors and would walk for hours.
His belief in God helped in his hardships throughout life. Later in his life, he also found comfort in his friend Nell, who his wished to be buried beside.
Even though Walter lost his eyesight, he always viewed the nature around his as beautiful and was always grateful.
We will miss him dearly. A graveside Memorial will be held on Monday August 24 at 2 pm at Evergreen Cemetery Grand Forks, BC.
Arrangements entrusted to the Baker Family of Grand Forks Funeral Home gffh@shaw.ca.
