On Monday January 31st we lost a good one. Walter Wallace passed away while vacationing in Florida.
Walter was a longtime board member and current president of the Soo Northstars hockey organization. He'd been an active volunteer since way back in the Soo Legion days. He was still very active in Northstars operations and fundraising activities at the time of his death.
You may also know Walter from his work with Soo Legion Branch 25.
Walter's son Blaine has been a good friend of mine since our minor hockey days and I considered Walter a good friend as well. He was a great guy who played a big part in making the Soo Northstars the classy organization they are today. He was a good honest family man who gave his heart and soul to the community. I'll miss him. And so will the local hockey community.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Wallace family.
