It is with great sadness that the family of Curly Walz announces his passing after a long and courageous battle with cancer, at the age of 88 years. Curly will be lovingly remember and dearly missed by his best friend and partner Marj Schell. He is also survived by his sister Marj Sholan of Winnipeg, Man; brother Fred Walz of Forest, Ont; his nieces Donna (Ron) Simard of Australia,
Del (Rick) Bridges of Winnipeg, Man., nephews Cornell (Cheryl) Sholan, Norman Sholan of Calgary,
Bill (Karen) Walz of Bowman, Ont. He is also survived by 3 stepchildren. Curly was predeceased by his first wife Jean, his mother, father, a niece Dee Sholan, and a stepson. Curly loved curling. He celebrated his 50th Brier in Kingston, Ontario in March 2020, and was looking forward to attending his 45th Worlds, in Scotland. Curly will be laid to rest in Queen’s Park Cemetery. There will be a private family service at the grave site. A Celebration of Life (Party) will be held at a later date. Please raise a glass to Curly, and if friends or family desire, donations may be made to STARS, High River Ag Society or to a charity of their choice. The family would like to thank Dr. Claire Temple-Oberle, for the wonderful care and compassion for Curly during his battle with cancer.
