Walter grew up on a farm near Ethelbert Manitoba. Following graduation, Walter moved to Winnipeg. In 1955 he relocated to Regina working as a stone finisher for a gravestone memorial business and part-time as a taxi driver. Walter met the love of his life, Margaret Dulle. In 1958, Walter and Margaret moved to a new home adjacent to the Dulle Family farmhouse in Simpson, SK. Walter continued farming in Simpson until his retirement in 1995. Walter maintained a high standard in farming. When harvesting was complete, he worked the winter months as a welder at Mel-Cam Industries in Imperial, SK. During the late 60’s, the farming industry faced a period of a worldwide grain surplus, which forced low grain prices. Walter felt in lieu of giving away grain at low prices, he would seek a longer-term storage system for the surplus grain. He found a solution by purchasing the abandoned Simpson train station. This facility was moved to the farm. He then converted the station into a grain storage centre. To create extra cash flow, Walter submitted a bid to provide fencing services for Lake Mountain Lake National Wildlife Federation. This lead to additional contracts for a number of years. All fencing work was done after harvest season. Around 2001 the Town of Ogema was searching for a train station to add to their community’s heritage theme. The Simpson station was discovered and deemed a treasure. A deal was made where the station was relocated to Ogema in 2002 along with all the original door and windows. The Ogema community has restored the station into a museum. The community awarded Walter special recognition for making this deal. Walter always found that his skills in carpentry, stonework, and welding were in high demand. In spite of busy summers farming and small construction projects in the winter, he made time for fishing, hunting or simply hanging out at his cabin at Little Bear Lake. Walter had a very generous heart and developed new friendships easily. Walter took pride in whatever task he undertook. Walter was predeceased by his wife Margaret (1984), his parents Nick and Polly Klypak, brothers Bill and Peter, and sisters Orysia and Sylvia. Saddened by the loss of Walter include his sons Heney (Gwen) Klypak, Orest Klypak, grandchildren Talena (Daniel) Klypak-Borbely, Kaelen Klypak, and great grandchildren Kadan and Aria Borbely. Walter’s family thank you for attending and invite you for lunch in the Simpson Community Centre following the graveside service.
