Samek, Walter Andrew
In Life …
As a young boy, Walter grew up on Queen Street North, riding his bicycle in all weather to deliver groceries. Throughout his teenage years, he excelled at sports – especially water polo and football at Westdale High School. He always had a way of making friends and never failed to leave a lasting impression on all those he met.
His endearing wife Nikki of 56 years and their four children – Mark, Jeff, Phil and Jane along with their spouses; Sonja, Louise and Daniel will never forget the way he could make you laugh. His grandchildren – Andrew, Emily, Laine, Jordan, Adam, Dion and Sophie – will miss the endless energetic hours they spent with their Papa. He will be missed by his sister Emilie, brother John and many relatives.
Walter will forever be remembered for his wit, his abundant energy and his flirtatious charm.
In Business …
Behind the scene yet always “seen”, Walter Samek … once called an impresario, was known to some as a promoter and to others as an entertainer. Everyone who knew him, realized he had a vision for events and how to create them. His enthusiasm was so great … he just carried everybody along. From the backyards of Forest Hill to the estates on the Bridal Path, from hotels to open spaces throughout the Golden Horseshoe … these backdrops were his playground.
His passion was setting the stage from weddings to corporate affairs and everything in between – tents, marquees and pavilions were his specialty. He could create an outdoor event in ways no one else ever thought possible. If he really wanted something, he kept going until he achieved it. For those who shared in Walter’s life, they also shared in his infectious passion.
In Memory …
Walter was often seen holding a camera in one hand and a harmonica in the other. He loved to dance, sing, laugh and play. He was the best husband, father and grandfather around and will be missed by all.
Walter embraced any challenge including his 10+ year battle with cancer and heart disease. The reoccurring bouts couldn’t dim his spirit. Unfortunately, his final battle with Dementia/Alzheimer’s proved to be too much.
Visitation to be held Friday, August 22nd from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. at the Cattel, Eaton & Chambers Funeral Home, 53 Main Street, Dundas, ON , where the Service for Walter will be held Saturday morning at 11 o’clock. Reception to follow in the Cattel Centre. Many thanks to the staff at Shalom Village.
In memory of Walter, donations to the Shalom Village Charity Foundation, the Alzheimer Society or the Cancer Society are welcome.

CROZIER, SHIRLEY ELIZABETH
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved wife, devoted mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister and friend to many, Shirley (Rutter) Hirst Crozier. Shirley is survived by her loving husband, Clare Crozier, daughter’s Jennifer Hirst of Dundas; Catharine (Bruce) Macartney of West Vancouver and son Matthew (Lorraine) Hirst of Brantford; grandchildren Hanna and Keenan Macartney; David, Ben (Desiree); Anna; Lucas; Abigail & Levi Hirst; Carrie (Nick) Coty and James Hirst; great grandson Tyler Hirst, brother David (Pamela) Rutter of Ancaster and family in Toronto, New York, Florida and England.
Born in Cobourg, Ontario Shirley was the daughter of the late Florence Hill and Jack Rutter. During her student days Shirley was a member of the Canadian Naval Reserve and for a time served on the Canadian aircraft carrier, HMS Bonaventure. Shirley was a graduate of Hamilton’s St. Joseph School of Nursing class of 1958.
As a dedicated, caring and highly skilled health professional Shirley worked in the Emergency Department at St. Joseph Hospital; in the community with family physician Dr. Vincent Rudnick, and since 1972 as a nurse practitioner at the McMaster University Medical Centre. In 1980 Shirley was appointed an Assistant Clinical Professor in the Department of Family Medicine . Patients often referred to her as Dr. Shirley.
Shirley’s career exemplified her many good qualities, particularly her love of learning and generosity of spirit. It can best be described as one in which her advise was always sought and respected. As a woman of great conviction, independence and achievement she was devoted to her work, which she truly enjoyed, and to her family, which was her primary focus.
An active and engaged volunteer at St. Paul’s United Church, Dundas and the Dundas Museum & Archives, Shirley was a skilled homemaker and gracious hostess, accomplished award winning gardener; craftier, golf enthusiast, family historian and genealogist. Shirley & Clare enjoyed their many travels: from coast to coast in Canada, Hilton Head Island, Great Britain; the south of France, New Zealand and Australia.
The family would like to thank the Rev. Rick Spies, Rev. Stan Wootton, Dr. Leber (oncologist); Dr. Bates (thrombo clinic), Dr. Mulji (cardiologist), staff at the Juravinski Cancer Centre, Shirley’s medical colleagues, and our many friends for their compassionate care and support.
Friends will be received by the family on Thursday afternoon and evening from 2-4 & 7-9 at the Cattel, Eaton & Chambers Funeral Home, 53 Main Street, Dundas.
A celebration of Shirley’s life will take place at St. Paul’s United Church, Dundas on Friday, August 22nd at 1:00 p.m. If desired, in lieu of flowers, donations to the Juravinski Cancer Centre, St. Paul’s United Church or the Dundas Museum & Archives would be greatly appreciated by the family.
