| Thinking of our best man always but especially today August 9. |
| Tom Bond Halifax, NS 6/1/2010 |
| It is a tribute to Wally that he shared his journey with others. He was always the realist and one who thought of others in all of his dealings. I am fortunate to have known Wally and proud that he lived forever true to his human values. Thinking of you all at this time. Tom (and Carol) Bond |
| Karina Boenders Newmarket, ON 5/26/2010 |
| I remember Wally from when I worked at Geac in Markham in the 80's. He was a really great and considerate person. My sincere condolences Kim & Krysta and to your whole family. |

| Mrs. Frank (Carol) Londres Mount Albert, ON 5/25/2010 |
| Kimberley & Krysta. Sincere sympathy in the loss of your dad, a very nice gentleman. My late husband and I worked with him in the early 80's at Geac. "What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us. ~Author Unknown~" |
| Chris Mahy Markham 5/25/2010 |
| Kim and Krista: I just heard the news and I wanted to send along condolences to you and the extended family. Although this doesn't make it any less difficult, perhaps some comfort can be taken in that his suffering is over. Wally's character, resilience and humour will certainly be missed. |
| Bill Mutch Markham 5/25/2010 |

| Maureen Clemens - Brampton 1/11/2010 |
| Hey, glad to hear that there's good news. I'm sure you'll be able to use that positive energy to get back to some normalcy in your life. We're all still pulling for you, even if we're not posting as often. (And it will be nice when we're all cheering for the same hockey team next month, though I can't share your enthusiasm for the eh-oh thing.) |
| Ed and Rose Kurak Oakville Ontario 1/10/2010 |
| Wally, it was absolutely great news that you gave us. Rose and I recall the words that you stated about a year agoe "You all know how stubborn I can be so when I say that I am going to beat this, you know damn well that with some help and positive energy from my family and friends “I will”. You were so right |

| Paul and Barb Thornhill 12/6/2009 |
| Wally it was great talking to you today. You've always been stubborn so there's no point in changing now. They say the success of a man is measured by the friends he attracts and care about him(quotation: Paul). You are truly a success. I look forward to seeing you during the next week. All our best. |

| Chris M Markham 10/13/2009 |
| Wally -- that is great news! Sure you're relieved to ring that bell. I guess the fact that it's still on the wall is because of a sturdy installation vs. hard ringing (I'm guessing people heard the bell blocks away). Keep up the great attitude -- steaks & beer to follow hopefully! Chris |
| Kim #1 and Diane Etobicoke 10/12/2009 |
| Sorry we're late. Hope you had a great birthday!!!! Take care. |

| Hi Wally, that is fantastic news, way to keep up the great fight. As for the empty head and being a Leafs fan... its all starting to make sense now! This is my last week here in beatiful Yukon. Good time to leave to as snow fell for over an hour yesterday morning. The mountains are snow-capped as well. I am flying back to Ottawa on Saturday and hope to get down to visit sometime later on in October. Take care, Doug |

| Paul Hartford Oakville 8/27/2009 |
| Don't give up Wally. Sounds like you are in the middle rounds of a slugfest....much akin to Rocky. Even though the Italian Stallion took a beating he stayed in there...and won. You will too....there are a lot of managers in your corner to help you. |
| pam and mike ogburn Crowe Lake 8/27/2009 |
| Hi Wally, We think about you every day and get updates from you-know-who. I think you're having X-rays today. You're in our prayers. Love Pam and Mike |

| Brian Mellor Ottawa 7/17/2009 |
| That's the most hair I've seen on your head since 1966 |
| pam and mike ogburn Riverview NB 7/15/2009 |
| Hi Wally, Thanks so much for sending the link to Lance Armstrong's fight against cancer. We've joined the march! Live the pic of you in you helmet (or is it hair??).

| Sue Feher / Lanthier 7/14/2009 |
| hmmm - at least it is not a hot humid day out there today - sunny - semi-warm and be outside-able. Hang in there Wally - fight back. Any chance surgery could do something about the stomach nodes?? Just a thought - Take care of you... Sue |
| Emberto Salon 7/9/2009 |
| As the hats are great, you are not showing the 5hrs (opps 5mins) of washing, cutting, sytling and sitting under the blow dryer, work I Emberto created. And it doesn't give room for your hair to grow. But on the other hand Parker said it was awsome that grampa D watch him come to play ball.( Which I hope you had a good laugh and fun)And Kassandra plays ever Mon & Wed.(This game will be much more fun to watch as a baseball game, very competive).See you soon love C N K & P. |
| Paul Whitby 7/3/2009 |

| Diane & Kimmy #1 Etobicoke 7/1/2009 |
| One thing we can say about the hat is that it will go with ANYTHING that you happen to be wearing!!! Nice! |

| Hey D2, sorry to hear that you are feeling crappy. Hopefully things will start moving in a more postive way very soon for you !!! The hat by the way ------not sure I can comment !!!!!! Hope to see you soon. xoxo |

| Wally, it looks like you got your wish! Have you started complaining that it's too hot & muggy yet? Hopefully your appetite will return -- this weather deserves a cold brew! Chris |
| Rhonda Bell Dallas 6/18/2009 |
| Love the hat! It's WAY cool! |
| Maureen - Brampton 6/15/2009 |
| Yes, that is a snappy hat. (I don't have to explain that, do I?) It was great seeing you on Sunday, and you obviously brought the team some luck. I hope you make it a regular occurence. Keep your chin up (and your food down?), and try your best to stay positive. (You looked great!) |
| Kathy Allen New York City 6/15/2009 |
| Well, I must complement Austin on the choice of hats. By the way I did like your summer hat from a couple of weeks ago. Sorry to hear about last week and want to wish you the best for this new week. |
| Jennifer Dwyer Arnprior 6/12/2009 |
| Hi Uncle Wally, sorry to hear you are not feeling well this week. Your absence was certainly felt over the last two days but you need to focus on yourself at this time. The girls are bringing home lots of hugs and good wishes. Take care and keep the faith. There is someone else watching over you now and putting in a good word. Love Jennifer |
| Sue Feher / Lanthier 6/12/2009 |
| Sorry to hear of your mother-in-law's passing - never easy news to digest. Perhaps that's what's causing your discomfort.... Remember the good things and know she is no longer ailing. Concentrate on feeling better - enjoy the game tonight!!! Cheers.. |
| Donna Phoenix 6/11/2009 |
| Austin has great taste in hats. I hope you will be feeling well soon. :-) |
| Kyle New Home in Brampton 6/10/2009 |
| Hey Wally! Great to hear you're feeling better and able to enjoy some more varied food & drink (!). I've got about 15 pounds I'll gladly give to you if it'll make you feel better (working in the states for 3 months hasn't been good pleasant for my scale). Haha. I've got a cold beer waiting for you at my house whenever you can make it out here! All the best, take care, and keep up on updating your updates. |
| Donna Phoenix 6/1/2009 |
| Love the hat! I'm glad you are feeling better this week. |
| Maureen - Brampton 5/30/2009 |
| Can't say I like the summer hat, but it is better than some of the previous headwear. You need to come out to Sunday baseball. I need someone to keep me company on the sidelines (Chris is the scorekeeper, so he's busy). Last week there was talk of beer this week. You up for that yet? |
| Nicole and Chris Brampton 5/29/2009 |
| Hi We are glad your feeling a bit better and hope to see you soon. If you need something just let us know!If you want a good laugh you should come see the Sunday baseball game usually start out quite amusing! |
| Sue Feher / Lanthier 5/29/2009 |
| Hang in there - I don't think anyone is happy with this weird weather. Not losing any more weight is key. Even more importantly, have you had a beer yet??? |
| Wally 5/23/2009 |
| i have to apologize to most of these guest book readers for a few of my "friends" who live in the delusional state where they think that the Ottawa Senators will win a Stanley Cup before those wonderful Toronto Maple Leafs do. It is my personal opinion that perhaps the Ottawa 67's (Jr. 'A' team) have a better chance of doing so before the Senators do. I think these folks just have their teams mixed up. |
| Barry Ford Ottawa 5/22/2009 |
| Hi Wally, Glad to hear that things are starting to look up. Being able to eat real food again must be great. Getting out on your deck with the nice weather also sounds good, especially if it also includes a glass or two of beer. By the way, ignore Cliff's comments about the Leafs; you are entitled to your dream, even if that's all it is. Keep up the good fight, Barry |
| Cliff Connerty Nepean 5/21/2009 |
| Wally, I am glad to hear things have turned out well so far. Keep it up. I admire your strength and sense of humour but that stuff about the Leafs winning a cup is pure fantasy. Go Sens Go. Go Wings Go....Cliff |
| Diane & Kim #1 Etobicoke 5/20/2009 |
| YAHOO!!!! That's good news Wally. We're so glad for you and the family. Dr. Baker at Cloverdale Dental said to tell you that he's thinking about you and will give you a call soon. Oh yeah, he also said that it was time for the girls to come in for a checkup!!!! He said it's been a LONG, LONG, LONG time since their last visit...oh, oh sounds like trouble!!! Take care. |
| pam and mike ogburn Moncton 5/16/2009 |
| Hi Wally, We've been very slack at keeping in touch lately but that doesn't mean we're not thinking about you and getting progress reports from Princess Pat. Talked to Pat this morning and she was telling me about her big win at the casino. Isn't that great and we told her to come and stand on our front lawn and bring some of her incredible luck to the sale of the house. It's been 2 months and no luck yet. We'll give it three more days and then list with a realtor. We would just like to move forward now and be done with it. Pat said you're doing really well and look great apart from being a little on the slim side. And mowing the lawn two or three times!! Wow! I know the girls are terrific support - what would we do without family? Isn't it great that the warm weather is here - I think May and June are the best months of summer. Wally, you're always in our thoughts and prayers. We'll be in touch soon. Love, Pam and Mike |
| Maureen Clemens - Brampton 5/15/2009 |
| Hey -- hope all's well in the Doskoch household. Enjoy the great weather while you can -- the frost is on its way. We'll have to plan a day at the track on one of these long weekends. If you're up to it, let us know. |
| Paul Farris Whitby 5/13/2009 |
| Hey Wally I ran in to Renzo yesterday and he told me about what you’re going through and this site My experience working with you tells me you have the right attitude to fight through this thing It’s not often you work with someone and create a instant bond but it’s an experience you never forget I think with you it was a combination of many things our passion for our work I miss those heated debates and our common interests Family: I’ve been reading through the web site and see why you always talked so proudly about your girls having them at your side will go a long way in helping you through this The Leafs: between the rebuilding and the retirement of Kerry Fraser Leafs chances are getting better every day Nascar: Now that Tony is back in a Chevy I can cheer for him again Baseball: Jays are off to a great start Halladay’s win last night against Burnett was super Beer: What can I say still love the picture you sent me showing me how to convert my old PC into a draft tap |
| Julia Mount Albert 5/13/2009 |
| I am soooooooooooo happy to hear that you have kept the faith and continue to "BeLEAF". You inspire me everyday and for this I thank you :) |
| Mike Ryan Scottsdale 5/11/2009 |
| Sir Walter of Doskoch, it's good to hear you're doing well. Now - just get better. I recall our breaks in big D. and borrowing cigarettes from you as we cussed/discussed matters. I almost got hooked. If you still smoke, I owe you a pack. I might soon be able to get a Cuban cigar as you've always been able to, in the current, politically correct state of affairs. About political correctness, you always had a panache for putting it in its correct place, which I always admired. Keep doing your best, and good things will come. Many regards - Mike |
| Renzo D'Addario Toronto 5/11/2009 |
| Hello Wally. I've been reading your updates on a regular basis, and I'm so glad to see that you are doing well and making significant progress. I wanted to let you know that all your friends at IBM are thinking of you and we want to wish you all the best. Enjoy that beer ! |
| Cathy Sonoski Etobicoke, ontario 5/9/2009 |
| Hi Wally; It your cousin again. I was reading the lates Progress & Status and it sound good. I hope you can keep it up, because if you want to see those Maple Leaf win the Stanley cup you are going to have to live for the next thirty year at least. So I have been praying for you every day. So keep up the good work. LOVE YA YOUR COUSIN Cathy xo xo |
| Maria and Fred Grech Rockwood 5/7/2009 |
| Hi Mr. D. So glad to hear that your appetite is coming back. You cannot imagine how many great receipes there are for vegetarians. I had to stop eating meat because of circumstances similar to yours and now I do not even crave meat anymore. The good thing is that you are feeling better....keep up the good work and make sure you get that dietitian to come over for any excuse...I once read that "a women is like a rose you can admire and smell it but do not touch it because of the thorns" therfore who cares that she is married just enjoy her presence. Always in our prayers Maria and Fred |
| Sue Feher / Lanthier 5/7/2009 |
| OUTSTANDING NEWS!!!! How wonderfully awesome is that!!! |
| Doug Whyte 5/6/2009 |
| Dear Wally, I cannot tell you how happy I am to know that the leafs will not win another Cup for 41 years. That has a double reward; first you will be around all of those years to watch some truly inspirational hockey played by Ottawa and Hamilton on alternate years as they bring the Cup back to Canada for the next four decades and second is... oh who gives a rat's ass, as long as we have you and a good hockey team in southern Ontario that's enough. Live long and prosper. LS (leaf suck.com) |
| Chris M Toronto 5/6/2009 |
| Wally! I just read your updates -- so happy to hear the news! When the day comes that you have your first beer, let us know! (I'd be curious to know what you pick after waiting so long). Chris |
| Brian Ottawa 5/6/2009 |
| FANTASTIC!!! Glad to hear your appointment went so well.I still may get that T-bone along with the beer, providing you pick up the tab. You know how much I hate to part with my hard earned sheckles. |
| Ali <3 5/6/2009 |
| Hey UW!! I am SO glad to hear that your appointment went well yesterday.. That is amazing news!!! I suppose now that you're allowed to drink again we should go partying this summer! HAHA. I can just picture that! Anyways. Love you. <3 |
| Jennifer Dwyer Arnprior 5/6/2009 |
| Congratulations! It is great to hear that your appointment went so well. Keep up the good work and positive attitude. Love Jennifer |
| Ed & Rose Kurak Oakville Ontario 5/6/2009 |
| Wow! It was so great to hear from you to-night with the news from the appointment. We only wish that everyone visiting the site could hear the sound of joy in your voice. Take Care |
| Scott Davis AZ 5/5/2009 |
| Hello Wally...I just wanted to let you know that you are in my prayers and that I feel that you will get better. Be patient and let these wonderful folks do their thing! Stay strong..Scott Davis |
| Keith & Fatima Clemens Mississauga 5/4/2009 |
| Hi Wally, Hope to hear that you are feeling better. You are always in our thoughts and prayers. So now that the Leafs are out of the playoffs....maybe you can start cheering for the Blue Jays. Keep up your good spirits. We miss you at the family gatherings. |
| 5/4/2009 |
| Enough of those crazy hats, get something sensible like a beanie with a propeller on top. You remind me of the late Hedda Hopper, had to have a new hat every day!!For the benifit of your viewers - Hedda Hopper was a gossip columnist who wore the most outlandish hats and never the same one ever again. Glad to hear your eating a bit more, hope you'll be up to a T-bone steak when we come down later on this month. Don't forget to stock up on beer and Crown Royal. Looking forward to seeing you and the girls. Brian. P.S. I'll give you a call tonight. |
| Jason, Jeff and Austin Ancaster 5/1/2009 |
| Hi Wally. We check your website every time our internet browser opens - it is our home page - eagerly awaiting to see the next new hat! Maybe it could be a the monopoly hat :-) Looking forward to playing monopoly or settlers soon. Jason, Jeff and Austin |
| Chris M Markham 5/1/2009 |
| Hey Wally! That's great news to hear things are starting to switch for the better. Keep up the good humour! Chris |
| Maureen Clemens - Brampon 5/1/2009 |
| We're actually not too disappointed that you don't have a new hat. There are some who were wondering whether your mind was affected by all this. Horns, feathers, mesh...yikes. Just kidding -- you make anything look good (that's a typical Kevin quote, by the way). If you need a walking partner let me know. I'm game for a drive, then a walk any time. Keep smiling! |
| Ali 5/1/2009 |
| Hey Uncle Wally!! I'm glad to see that things are finally starting to look up for you. And guess what? I'm coming down to visit for a few weeks this summer, so I'll be able to see you! Can't wait! Love, Ali<3 |
| Susan Pybus Markham 4/29/2009 |
| hey Wally, glad you're feeling 'better' think of you often. (every time I have to take my glasses off to read!) |
| Lisa Brighton 4/28/2009 |
| Hey D2, glad to hear your starting to feel better, even if its just a "little". I just love your new hat - totally suits you !!!! Hope you weren't scared in the dark saturday night, lol. Sorry to steal your care-givers away from you, but I will admit I enjoyed their company. Sorry...ha ha ha. Always thinking about ya. Hope to see you soon. xoxolisa |
| Neil Davidson Oakville 4/27/2009 |
| Hi Mr. Doskoch, I'm really glad to hear things have "switched" and you are feeling better. But honestly, I'm surprised you were having problems with the smell as I didn't think Kim and Krys even know how to turn that big thing in the kitchen on. All the best, Neil |
| Sue Feher / Lanthier 4/27/2009 |
| SWEET!! You made me laugh - at least someone takes my suggestions seriously! Continue the progress - look forward to sharing a beer in the near future - You'll get there... Sue |
| kim the home front 4/26/2009 |
| well, Dad talks about his "switch" being flipped. Personally I think that based on his rate of progress it is more of a "dimmer switch". I wonder what that says about Dad? Hmmm.... |
| Maureen Clemens - Brampton 4/26/2009 |
| Wow -- too bad I didn't get to see the actual hat. YOU'RE looking good though. Hopefully the switch has turned on for the good weather, too, and you can be outside for some fresh air and exercise. Take care. |
| Kathy Allen New York City 4/25/2009 |
| Hey, Wally it was great reading the latest Progress Update. I am glad there has been some switching. Take Care |
| Maureen - Brampton 4/22/2009 |
| Hey -- you sounded GREAT on the phone tonight. Glad to hear that the dimmer switch is slowly turning in the right direction. Feel better! |
| Sue Feher / Lanthier Toronto 4/22/2009 |
| Ok Mr. Doskoch... Unhook yourself from the R2D2 pump and get your sweet ass outside this weekend and enjoy some of that sun!! Even just to sit and feel the warmth and the rays and a bit of a breeze on your face!!! How's that for encouragement!!!! Hang in there - really - Sue |
| Jennifer Dwyer Arnprior 4/20/2009 |
| Hello Doskoch's. I'm thinking of you all and hope you are hanging in there. With radiation now behind you I hope you are able to start feeling some improvement or at least some relief from the nausea. Know that as always we are thinking of you and praying for strength for each of you. Take care. Love Jennifer |
| Anne Prendergast Ottawa 4/17/2009 |
| Hi Wally, sorry to hear you've been so ill. I hope you feel better real soon. Take care. Affectionately, Anne |
| Rose Kurak Oakville 4/17/2009 |
| I'm rooting for this switch that takes place. Hoping for you to feel much better and maybe feeling like soup again!!!! Love, Rose |
| Chris/Nicole Brampton 4/17/2009 |
| Just keep resting & feeling better, you look good in your easter bonnet.Love Nicole, Chris & the Kids. |
| Maureen Clemens - Brampton 4/17/2009 |
| Hey -- your Easter picture proves that you're "One of a Kind". Glad to see that you're not taking yourself too seriously (because we've been making fun of you for years)! Hang in there, and feel better. |
| Krysta Infirmary 4/16/2009 |
| Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for reading, posting, sending wishes and checking up on us. We appreciate everything!

| Vincent Aleman Ashby de la Zouch uk 4/14/2009 |
| Hi Wally - Spoke to Patsy on Easter Saturday and gather you've just finished a major set of treatment. She said you had problems with my e-mail so I've sent it again with this message. Hope the time passes quickly on your recovery from your recent set of treatment. All the best - Vincent Aleman |
| Maria and Fred Grech Rockwood, On. 4/11/2009 |
| Hello Mr. D., Kim and Krysta, Glad to hear that the therapy is over and done with. IT WILL FEEL LIKE A SWITCH HAS BEEN TURNED OFF in a week or so. You WILL feel much better. Fred and I wish you all a Blessed Easter and remember that you are all in our daily prayers. Take care and God Bless....Maria and Fred |
| Nadia Woodbridge 4/11/2009 |
| Hi Wally. I hope you and the girls have a Happy Easter. XOXO. |
| Maureen Clemens - Brampton 4/10/2009 |
| Hey Mr. D. -- hang in, hang in, hang in. We got Shirley Clemens on Facebook -- proof positive that almost anything is possible. You feeling better is WAY more likely than that! We're pulling for you... |
| Wally, Kim & Krysta The Infirmary 4/10/2009 |
| Happy Easter everybody. Thanks for all your support! |
| Art & Elaine Ottawa 4/8/2009 |
| Hi Wally: Brian mentioned to me that you had a web site yesterday. We will be thinking of you and the girls during this time. We still have a seat open at the poker game when you get better. We will be checking your web site for updates. |
| Chris M Markham, ON 4/8/2009 |
| Wally! By now, you are likely back in-treatment. Keep your hopes up! Soon enough you'll be eating steak and watching the 'new' Leafs gunning for a playoff spot. All the best, Chris |
| Maureen Clemens - Brampton 4/7/2009 |
| Hey -- no jokes or insults today -- just happy thoughts. Hang in there! |
| Julia Chotowetz Mount Albert 4/7/2009 |
| Hello All, I was just thinking happy thoughts about you, Wally, and your girls. I hope you are smiling :) |
| Vincent Aleman Ashby-de-la-Zouch UK 4/6/2009 |
| Hi Walter - I spoke to Patsy last night to see how Uncle Pat & Aunte Jean were getting along as they have been without a phone for some time. She told me about your dilema and gave me your web site. I've seen several ways of fighting cancer and yours looks to be one of the best, incredibly positive. I hope all the treatment goes well and we can now keep in touch by email. all the best - Vincent Aleman |
| Lisa Brighton 4/6/2009 |
| Hey, just thinking about you and hoping your feeling okay. Try and keep your spirits up....1 more week of treatments to go !!! Love ya, hope to see you soon. Lisa, Andrew, Mackenzie and Nicholas xoxo |
| Reuben Across from Pat :) 4/3/2009 |
| Hiya Wally. Just tried your new exercise (lying on the floor trying not to move). It ranks right up there with listening to Celine Dion songs (excruciatingly painful and on the verge of torture). From reading the updates I 'm glad to see you haven't lost your sense of humour. Us true leaf fan usually need it this time of year. Take care my friend |
| tricia 4/3/2009 |

| Chris & Nicole Brampton 4/3/2009 |
| Glad to hear you are eating, and about the game it is as simple as the Leafs are a power house, they just did as they pleased. Philly were no match. Love Nicole & Chris |
| Gary Dadoun Etobicoke 4/3/2009 |
| Hi Wally, Here at the clinic we are all thinking of you and sending our heartfelt wishes for your health - may your treatments go super well. We miss your smile and laugh. Gary |

| Wally Here 4/2/2009 |
| Br proud Maple Leaf fans! For once thay told us at the beginning of the year what the outcome was going to be and they were RIGHT! Rejoice! Already for next year they are guaranteeing a playoff spot. I feel better already! |
| Maureen Clemens - Brampton 4/2/2009 |
| Hey Mr. D: I sent Noel and Chris to the game at the ACC last night. Noel told his Flyers to go easy on the Leafs because he had a friend who was needing a little ray of sunshine from his team. Hope you appreciate the sacrifice. Speaking of sunshine, do you get a nice tan from the radiation? Hope you're feeling great, and know that we're thinking of you. |
| Ed & Rose Kurak Oakville, Ontario 4/2/2009 |
| Wally, as you are finishing off this second week of treatments, know that you remain in our thoughts - Take Care |

| Kumar Ferrada Mississauga 4/1/2009 |
| Hi Wally, I work with your daughter Krysta at UPS. I have heard a lot about you lately. This web site is a good idea for you to keep in touch with people / friends and share your thoughts. Keep it up! |
| Nadia Woodbridge 3/31/2009 |
| Hey Wally, Just thinking of you today. I was PMH yesterday with my grandmother. She started her hormone treamtent for breast cancer (she is too old for chemo)and has an appt to get some info on radiation (which should start soon, every day for 5wks). She is a stong lady just like you are a strong man. Keep fighting and stay positive. Big hugs to you and Kim and Krysta. |
| Monica Elliott Burlington 3/31/2009 |
| Hello Walter, I haven't met you yet but feel like I know you. I work at UPS with Krysta. And while she was stationed in Burlington is when I really got a chance to hear about you. I was initially saddened to hear about your circumstances. I have prayed that this will turn around for you and that you will have an opportunity to share with someone else who is in a similar situation. But my other prayer for you, as you navigate this difficult time, is that you will have an opportunity to build stronger relationships, love harder, laugh often and frequently and never miss an opportunity to say something that you want to say. Everyone benefits from someone who lives their life like that! May God continue to bless and keep you. Monica |
| Maria and Fred Grech Rockwood, On. 3/31/2009 |
| Hi Mr. D. We have been following your progress through information from Nicole and the web sight. I, as a cancer survivor, encourage you to continue the fight. I strongly belief that with the help of prayers and your positive attitude you will win the fight. Maria and Fred |
| Ed & Rose Kurak Oakville Ontario 3/31/2009 |

| Hi Mr D, I am sorry to hear that you are not well, I wish for you happiness in every moment. Kim and I were good friends when we went to St. Dorothy's AND I remember calling your house to speak with her and you were always so very nice.. i remember the sound of your voice in my head....I pray that the Lord would continue to give you comfort and strength... I already know that you are a very strong and brave man....you have raised 2 wonderful girls....i will keep you in prayer. God bless you, Donna Berry Finn. |

| Daniel Woodbridge 3/28/2009 |
| Hey Wally! Wow, that name makes me think of Wall-E! Such a great character! :) Anyway, I am a friend of Kim's and used to work with her at Chapters. We'd always have many discussions about broadway shows and how AWESOME Madonna is (well - it was only me who thought she was awesome! LOL) Nonetheless, I just want you to know that I believe in the power of prayer and the immense effects of positive thinking. I am wishing you and your family only the best! :D |

| Donna & Bert Alberty Ottawa, ON 3/28/2009 |
| Hi Wally, We just became aware of your serious health challenge. As far back as I can remember you always faced a challenge head on. After reading through your web page we can see that you are approaching your cancer in the same manner. Best of wishes on this challenge. We'll keep in touch. |
| Greg Otte Mississauga 3/28/2009 |
| Mr. DFight it. Mt mother In law is a multiple time cancer survivor who had most of her throat reconstructed at the age of 40. My father in-law is currently undergoing hormone therapy for bone cancer. It is going very, very well. Keep the faith. My family is proof that you can beat it. PS. Your treatment sounds like something my Wife pays tonns of money for.. pilates. :) Love GregO see no enter key. looks funny. |
| Terry 3/28/2009 |
| Hi Wally! I am a friend and co-worker of Kim's at Chapters. She has always been a great person to be around and is always talking about her family.(either good or bad. don't we all) She has always spoken highly of you and her sister and all the vacations you've all been on and the times you've shared. In times of doubt it is always so hard to stay positive and strong but keep your spirits high, most importantly for yourself and for the ones around you! Take care! P.S. Have you seen the movie Wall-e?? :) |
| justine ... i guess woodbridge even though i dont live there. 3/28/2009 |

| Caitlin Woodbridge, Ont 3/27/2009 |
| Hey Wally, I work with Kim at Chapters. (I'm Caitlin.. but I think it says that!) I really like your hat! I hope you can keep your spirits as high as the horns on that hat! (I really wish that was more clever!) I'll write again soon. =) |
| Paula & John Whyte Arnprior 3/27/2009 |
| HI, hope you are having a good day toaday. We finally had a day of nice weather down here. Don't know what the weekend will bring. Keep up the fight. They say that a positive attitude can work wonders and it sounds like you have a great one. Love John, Paula, Nolan and Matthew |
| Andrea Debi Brampton 3/27/2009 |
| Mr. Doskoch, I am so sorry about your diagnosis :( If you remember, I was the little brown girl :) that lived at 34 Autumn Glen circle and was best friends with Kimmy for a while growing up. I don't know if you remember, my brother was diagnosed with Leukemia when he was 3 years old. He went into remission and relapsed when he was 8 years old. We did a bone marrow transplant, he is now 28 years old. My mom was diagnosed with Colon Cancer Stage 3 in 2007, she did her treatment and surgeries. Mom is re-couping as best as she can she is a little fighter - just like you! Mr. Doskoch, I just wanted to say, Thank-you. I have vivid memories of eating dinners at your house and you took candid photo's of me at our school events when mom and dad couldn't make it out. I have really good memories of you and your family. My husband and I have opened a music school "The Rock School" Last year, we did a big parking lot concert called "Rock Against Cancer" - Perhaps if you are up to it, you could drop by for a bit and help us Rock Against Cancer :) I wish you all the best and please let me know if you do need anything. Lots of Love and I'm sending you good vibes to help you push through this! |
| Richard Dell'Angelo Woodbridge 3/27/2009 |
| Hey Wally, I work with Kim at Chapters and she told me about your site. It sounds like you have the right attitude about the whole thing, and that really helps a lot. As to your problem of who to cheer for in the playoffs, I'd like to direct your attention to Vancouver. I hope you still love Mats Sundin, and Roberto Luongo is always a factor. They've been tearing it up lately, and hopefully this will continue into the playoffs. If you can't get over Sundin leaving us... Calgary is probably the next best team(you've got to cheer for a Canadian team!). They really improved at the trade deadline, even though they've been playing pretty bad lately. Haha sorry for the digression; I'm totally into hockey... Anyway I hope you feel better and beat this so you can see the Leafs win another Stanley Cup!!! |
| Donna (Blondie) Phoenix 3/27/2009 |
| I ran across an old email from 2003 (yes, I'm a pack rat) were you called me Blondie. Do you know some people still call me that! I can't decide if they are still calling me that because you started it or because i have those very special moments...lol. Dagwood are always in thoughts, prayers and apparently emails. |
| Nadia Woodbridge 3/26/2009 |
| Hi Wally, I just wanted to drop a line to let you know that I am thinking about you. I hope you are feeling better. I have nothing to say about the leafs except that I didn't realize CUJO was back. Yikes. XOXO |
| Ed & Rose Kurak Oakville Ontario 3/26/2009 |
| Thinking about you and wishing you well as you finish week #1 |
| Kim home 3/26/2009 |
| Hey Lisa! I can cook! I make a mean mac and cheese, and I can have a pizza ready in 30 minutes or it's free! and don't even get me started on my jello-making... |
| Lisa Brighton, ont. 3/26/2009 |
| Hi, glad to hear the treatments have started and everything seems to be going okay with you. Are you sure the "smell" of food cooking is making you nasues, or is it that its Kim and Krysta doing the cooking, lol. Anyway, keep your spirits up...we all love ya. xo ps. sorry about your leafs, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha |
| Maureen Clemens - Brampton 3/26/2009 |
| Hey Nicole and Chris -- thanks for the "Wally-doing-yoga-image". (Jeez, these Leaf fans) |
| Maureen Clemens - Brampton 3/26/2009 |
| The nausea is partially caused because you're sick about the performance of your Leafs. Stop watching. Orange and black! Orange and black! Orange and black! |
| Paul Hartford Oakville 3/25/2009 |
| Wally: It was good talking to you and just wanted to let you know I have been thinking of you. When you get thru this I would be delighted to take you up for a 'spin' if you wish. I know thats not the right choice of words but its late in the afternoon and I could use a beer. paul |
| Nicole and Chris Brampton 3/25/2009 |
| Hey glad to know everything went okay with first radiation and you should do some yoga to practice those moves you need for it. |
| Jennifer Dwyer Arnprior 3/24/2009 |
| Hi Uncle Wally. Congratulations on completing 2 sessions. Remember that a journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step, each day brings you closer. I hope you know that Dad is thinking of you also. We speak most every day and you are always a part of the conversation. Now that we have a computer at home he is able to come over and see the site, rather than being updated by myself and aunt Brenda. He says he is still crafting the perfect "Leafs" joke. Anyway, we all love you and are thinking of you and the girls every day. Jim and I are thinking of taking Emmett to the Toronto Zoo this summer and would love to see all of you, even briefly. I will be in touch when our plans are confirmed. Take care, Jennifer |
| pam and mike ogburn Moncton 3/24/2009 |
| Hi Wally, Kim and Krysta, Just in case you think Toronto gets all the bad weather, we had about 5 inches or whatever in cm. of snow last night. Just enough so that we don't get cocky and pack the shovels away. As always, Pat is keeping us up to date on your progress. We thought about you yesterday afternoon as you began the radiation treatments. I understand that the treatments will make you tired but the benefits are the important thing. Pat said your spirits are wonderful and the girls, as always, are totally supportive and as funny as ever. Remember that your Moncton friends keep you in their thoughts and prayers. Love Pam and Mike |
| Maureen Clemens - Brampton 3/23/2009 |
| We've been thinking about you all today. Just back from our road trip to watch the beloved Flyers defeat both Buffalo and Pittsburgh at their home arenas. We'll see what we can do about watching them do the same to your Leafs sometime next season. Stay strong! |
| Ali 3/23/2009 |
| Hey UW, good luck with the first treatment today. Love you. |
| Cathy Sonoski Etobicoke, Ontario 3/22/2009 |
| Hi Welly: It your favorite cousin; I want to wish you a the very best and keep your faith and I hope you will be better and hope will not give up. You know that I will not have you to tease me if you don't get better so you have to get better. LOVE Your favorit cousin. Cathy |
| Wally Here 3/21/2009 |
| I think I've replied to everone that supplied email addresses. Tyhere were a couple that were invalid and my replies were returned. In any case THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR COMMENTS - DON'T BE AFRAID TO ADD MORE THAN ONCE - READING THESE IS A SOURCE OF STRENGTH - THANKS!! |
| Denise Dickin Across the street from Pat! 3/20/2009 |
| Hi Wally, Of course Pat has been doing a great job of keeping me updated on your situation but it was still good to come to your web site and see all the photos of you and your family. It's wonderful that you are keeping your spirits up - it really does make a difference. Try not to worry about the radiation too much - it is not painful. The main thing that is likely to happen is that you will feel more tired but now that you've got that custom hospital bed, you can just sleep it off. I am also a member of the "Radiation Tattoo" club. It was over 20 years ago and I now look at those little blue/green dots with fondness, knowing that they helped to save my life. Take good care of yourself, Denise (and Bob and Molly) |
| Mary Ann Amodeo Etobicoke, Ontario 3/17/2009 |
| Hi Wally, I am a friend of Kim's and fellow member of the Etobicoke Optimist Club with Kim and Auntie Pat. I wanted to send along my best wishes to you. I really enjoy your journal and your neat pictures. I run my own business from my home office which is a demonstration agency. You know those ladies in the stores that are offering you cheese on a toothpick or a little cup of yogurt? Well...that's us! You sure do get to meet alot of interesting people that way and lot's of them have a story or 2 to tell! I have a cat ( I will always have a cat) and her name is Mia and she is great company for me...never hurts my feelings and always agree's with me, as she knows that I hold the treat bag! If you feel like it please reply to me and I would love to hear from you. By the way, I love the Viking horns in this picture! What's that all about?? Cheers for now, your new friend, Mary Ann |
| Cathy, Charlie & Celeste Etobicoke, across the street from Pat 3/16/2009 |
| Hey Wally, Pat gave me your website. We wish you all the best in beating this. Stay strong and keep that positive fighting attitude! Great web site! |
| Kathy Allen New York City 3/15/2009 |
| Hi Wally. I am visiting the site regularly and appreciate the updates. I think that it is great that you were driving on Saturday. That is encouraging. |
| jk opposite side of world 3/15/2009 |

| Cheri (Optimist Member) Toronto 3/12/2009 |

| Diane & Kim #1 Etobicoke 3/11/2009 |

| Megan Ottawa 3/11/2009 |
| Hi Wally, Thinking about you and your girls. And glad that the Sens leftover/second hand goalie is coming through for the Leafs. ha ha ha... Sending you some warm thoughts from balmy Ottawa. |
| Sue Feher / Lanthier ex-Geac 3/11/2009 |
| Hey Wally - Not sure you would remember me - but I have fond memories of your mentorship at Valleywood. Keith Pybus told me of your current challenge - I must tell you I am inspired by your attitude and courage to beat this!! Keep at it - my thought will be with you all the way and continue to post your news!! They are encouragement for anyone!!! Don't give up!!! |
| Lisa 'Brighton' 3/10/2009 |
| Hey, glad to hear things went better yesterday then the 1st attempt and glad we got to see you on the weekend, but what a "crappy" drive back home !!!!! Oh well - all worth it. xolisa ps. the kids say 'THANKS' for not liking blue jello, ha ha ha. |
| tricia 3/10/2009 |
| hey wally, thought you might want to watch some tv online. there are some great sites that offer free viewing of just about every tv shows and movies known to man! www.surfthechannel.com www.watchtvsitcoms.com i've been watching a show called "the wire" and it is fantastic! it is probably one of the best tv dramas i've ever seen. i think you'll become addicted to it too. ;) enjoy! love, tricia |
| Geoff Whyte 3/10/2009 |
| Howdy uncle Wally, sorry for not messaging earlier but here I am now: So last night my father called me up to go see the sens vs. the leafs for free so i had to say yea. i wore my jearsey, hat gloves, socks, underwear, but didnt paint my face or anything. Well I got into the car only to find out that we were going to pick up 2 more sens fans: my dads buddy Bill and uncle Brian. so i was quite out numbered but that changed as soon as we got to the arena. it was a sea of blue and we were out cheering the lame ottawa fans. too bad we only won the 1st periode and not the game though. Brian went out for a smoke during the 1st intermission and didnt return till 10 mins left in the second periode cause it was just so packed with leaf fans. i couldnt help but sniff at his jacket longedly cause i quit smoking like 10 days ago and man is it hard. but i will not smoke any more. well i hope things are going well in the medical front, i know what its kinda like to be prodded relentlessly and it aint fun but hey if it gets results might as well just suck up the unconfort and well if we can chear for a team that hasnt made the play offs in years we are good at dealing with hardships. well all my love, Geoff. |
| Brian Mellor Ottawa 3/10/2009 |
| Gidday From the big city of Carp!!! Glad to hear that everything went well yesterday!!I'm sorry that I failed to phone you on Sunday, crashed out in my chair after supper. Was going to call on Monday night, but Doug called to ask me to the game. IF YOU LEAF FANS HAVEN'T HEARD - OTTAWA 2/TORONTO 1. I'll definitly give you a call this Sunday. By that time you should be over the loss. |
| Donna Phoenix 3/10/2009 |
| I knew you would appreciate the bear joke I sent you last night. I was surprise to see your response at 2am. You're in my daily thoughts and prays. I hope you get well soon Las Vegas is calling. If you are really quiet, you can hear it "W..A..L..L..Y come to L..A..S V..E..G..A..S. |
| Kyle Niagara Falls 3/10/2009 |
| The stupid Leafs blew yet another lead tonight! Love the site though. Keep on fighting! Poor Krysta, everyone picking on her .... hahah |
| Sue Kay The Assembly Hall 3/9/2009 |
| Hi Wally, your sister Pat is one of my favourite volunteers at the Assembly Hall. She tells me that you're going to fight this thing and win so I just wanted to let you know - even though you don't know me - that I'm praying for you and wishing you all the good luck in the world. |
| Cathy Sonoski Etobicoke, Ontario 3/8/2009 |
| Hi Wally; It your cousin; Patsy gave me your web. So how are you? I hope you are OK. I am just fine. I hear that you have cancer I hope and pray that you can get read of it. I saw some op your picture and they are really good. But the one with your two sister is really good. I hope you will write me some day if you really want to. I will be praying for you every day. My email addresse is auntsonar@rogers.com. I hope to hear from. Love Cathy xo xo |

| pam and mike ogburn moncton 3/6/2009 |
| Hi Wally, Gertie Get Rich just called to say she won at the Casino yesterday - couldn't happen to a better person! Remember last September when you picked up Pat and I at Woodbine - we had been there for hours and won zip, you were there for five minutes and won $175.00! Figures. Pat said you like the pictures of our new house at the lake, especially the floors. In that case we expect you to make a personal inspection to give your stamp of approval. We'll be there for about a week in April and hope to do our final move in early July. That is, of course, if we sell this home quickly. Went up for sale on Wednesday. Our Moncton real estate is staying pretty level despite the economy so we have our fingers crossed. We hear you have a fabulous hat - you know, the onion bag one. This I have to see. Take care, kiddo. We'll drop a note in a few days. Love Pam and Mike |
| Keith & Fatima Clemens Mississauga 3/5/2009 |
| Hi Wally, Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Keep up the fighting spirit. |
| Chris Mahy Toronto, Canada 3/5/2009 |
| Wally. Keep up your good spirit & hang in there! |
| Paulette Dozois Ottawa 3/4/2009 |
| Emailing you from another Leaf-fan house here in Ottawa thinking of you at this time. It seems from reading a great deal of the entries "sports" seem to be a continuing theme.I feel kind of out of the loop on that one though I do believe the Leafs will win again...(I can still remember 1967!!- I have always been somewhat delusional on items I know little or nothing about...) The other is of course you Wally and Kim and Krysta and your journey at the moment. I think you guys have been doing a super job in asking questions, questioning the doctors and nurses to get the information you need and then moving forward. A true inspiration from where I sit... My parents send their best wishes and prayers of course. (Theirs will probably be answered rather than us old lapsed RC's). I am thinking of you guys, wishing I was there to give you a big hug and will keep on reading the website and staying in touch.... Love ya all!!! |
| Bjorn Larsen Toronto 3/4/2009 |
| Spent a couple of hours with Wally last night, hoping for that male nurse to appear - but alas, no such luck. I will continue to visit you Wally, for as long as you can handle me - you are in my thoughts constantly and you will pull through this, believe me. You may not be able to go flying with me again (remember that dark night when the red light came on?) but we will do other things together. We are all there for you and will do whatever is necessary - your friend Bjorn. |
| Ali 3/4/2009 |
| Soooooooooooooooooooo.......... Did Krysta get his number? =) |
| Barb Holly Etobicoke 3/2/2009 |
| Hi, I ask and hear about your progress every day. Your girls are "jems" and you have done a wonderful job with raising them, and now it is pay-back time and you know what they say about that! You are a conversation everyday at the dinner table. We are all pulling for you! |
| Lisa Brighton, Ont. 3/1/2009 |
| Ok...there might have been a "male" nurse with no wedding band, but, not to stereotype - it was a "male" "nurse" !!! He may not be interested in Krysta's kind. hee hee hee. Glad you are in good spirits, hoping to drop in next weekend for a quick visit. Feel better !!! xo |
| Maureen Clemens - Brampton 2/28/2009 |
| Okay, perhaps we should have an entirely DIFFERENT website for the updates on Kim and Krysta's romantic adventures. |
| Geoff Bartle Aurora ONT 2/28/2009 |
| Wally - a "generation" has skipped by since working with you in the early 80s at Geac. All the best, and add us to the list of folks pulling for you, and admiring your strength. |
| Christina Brundage Raleigh, NC 2/27/2009 |
| You don't know me, Wally, but I am a friend of Rose Kurak's. She asked me to keep you in my prayers, which I am doing, and she sent me the link to this site. I admire your spirit! As an RN, I can tell you not to worry about the stuff going in your stomach tube - it is essentially exactly the same thing as those cans of Ensure or Boost that are sold in the stores for extra nutrition. Keep up the fighting spirit and remember there are people rooting for you! |
| Krysta The infirmary - Wally's home 2/27/2009 |
| I just read Dad's update for today and I thought everyone should know that he's full of crap. Yup and not just in his update either!!! |
| Syd Johnson Kanata 2/27/2009 |
| Hi Wally.....How's the Ukranian guy? Best wishes to you and your family. |
| James N Mississauga 2/26/2009 |
| I work with Kim at the Daycare, I think this website is a great idea. |
| Barry Ford Ottawa 2/26/2009 |
| Hello again, Wally Hope they can provide you some relief for the pain. I was just talking to Pete Cameron, and since he is not on the internet, he asked me to relay his best wishes. He mentioned something about the 'Unionville' connection ? Hey, the Leafs actually one in a shoot-out! Hang in there, Barry |
| Carly G Chapters Woodbridge 2/25/2009 |
| Hello. I work with Kim (I think she's so awesome). I'm going to assume you're just as great. I hope you start feeling better soon. PS. I have a picture wearing the same birthday hat at Montana's. They made me wear it on my 20th birthday. It looks better on you though. |
| Maureen Clemens - Brampton 2/25/2009 |
| Yes, Chris. The Leafs have also killed the hopes of anyone thinking they'll win the Stanley Cup. Sad, really. |
| Chris/Nicole Brampton 2/25/2009 |
| Yes our Leafs are coach killers, next the Stanley Cup. Keep staying positive. |
| Jamie Williams Brighton, Ont. 2/24/2009 |
| MY family's thoughts and Prayers are with you Mr. D!! Keep fighting and staying positive! Jamie and Family! |
| Maureen Clemens - Brampton 2/24/2009 |
| Sneaky, how they don't tell you about the pain beforehand, huh? We all wish we could take a little of that pain on for you. It's important that you guys start taking us up on helping whereever we can, so start making a list so we can help you through. Love ya! |
| Ali 2/24/2009 |
| Hey! Glad to hear that your first surgery went well. Hope you start feeling better (and get on that beer) soon enough! Love you<3 |
| Maureen Clemens - Brampton 2/23/2009 |
| I'll let you know now that when they were showing my dad samples of the stent that they inserted, they dropped them all over the floor. I believe the "10-second rule" was in effect. Let us know how the new pipes work. |
| Ed Kurak Oakville Ontario 2/23/2009 |
| I will lay claim to being Wally's friend for the longest period, 65 years and 2 months. Looking at the clock and knowing your heading for hospital - you are certainly on my mind. I know what you are made of so just beat this thing. |
| Julia Chotowetz Mount Albert 2/23/2009 |
| Well hello old friend and fellow Leaf Die Hard :) I am sending smile's and love to you and your family. Take care and keep inspiring us. |
| Cliff Connerty Ottawa 2/23/2009 |
| Wally, my thoughts and prayers are there for you. It's been a long time since we've talked but I've thought of you often over the years and Barry Ford and I talk of the good old days often. Keep on being stubborn and beat this thing....Cliff |
| Doug May 2/22/2009 |
| Hi Wally, Just got back from a few days in the USA. Good luck with the surgery! Hope everything goes well. Doug |
| Sarah A La Chapters Woodbridge 2/22/2009 |
| Heyo Sportsfan! *waves* I'm a friend of Kimmy's and I'm here to give you a big HEYO!!!! I'm sending positive vibes your way from my little hole in the wall. Rock em and sock em Wally! We're rooting for ya with pom poms waving. |
| Nicole A Woodbridge ON 2/22/2009 |
| I really hope you get better. I work with Kim and she's so quiet sometimes I had no idea anything was wrong until I found out your diagnosis of cancer. My aunt had colon cancer last year, and she stayed strong and pulled through. I'm sure you can do the same. Stay strong and remember there are alot of people behind you, helping you through this. -Nicole |
| Stephanie Muccilli 2/22/2009 |

| Kevin C Brampton 2/21/2009 |
| Get well Soon. |
| Jason, Jeff and Austin Ancaster 2/21/2009 |
| Hi Wally - Monday sounds like a big day and hopefully will provide you some relief so you can have that beer and maybe a steak. After you finish that surgery, you should consider writing for a newspaper or a magazine as a post retirement hobby/freelance writer, your progress and status updates are far more informative and entertaining then most of the stuff published out there. Thinking of you, Krysta and Kim each day! |
| Mike Ryan Scottsdale, AZ 2/20/2009 |
| Sir Walter, you have been one of the best influences in my life. Later, Mike. |
| Lisa Brighton 2/20/2009 |
| Good Luck monday with the procedures. I'm sure it will all go well. Next time we are down we will stop in for that "beer" you will be allowed to have. xoxo luv ya |
| Gordon Holly Toronto 2/20/2009 |
| Stay Positive, Stay Strong! Good luck with the upcoming procedures. |
| Sylvia Allen Etobicoke 2/20/2009 |
| Kathy prompted me to go to your site. All the best for next week |
| Kathy Allen New York City 2/20/2009 |
| Hi Wally. Read your updates and do not worry about Monday - it will be a breeze. Take the word of an operating room nurse See you in March |
| Doug & Mary Ann May Toronto 2/18/2009 |
| Hi Wally, Hope that Princess Margaret will present a better "plan of action" for you. Our thoughts and prayers are still with you! |
| Greg Etobicoke 2/18/2009 |
| Hiya again UW. As always thoughts are with you. Love ya and see you soon. xo |
| Maureen Clemens Brampton 2/16/2009 |
| Hey -- can we all hear about the white snake story from Donna? |
| Jennifer Dwyer Arnprior, Ontario 2/14/2009 |
| Hi Uncle Wally, I'm so sorry to hear of everything you are going through. I hope that you Kim and Krysta can feel the love, support and prayers being sent your way from "The Prior". Stay Strong, stay positive. Lots of love Jennifer |
| The Thompsons Etobicoke 2/14/2009 |
| Hey Wally, We here at the Thompson stead are sending our prayers for a speedy recovery.(Mom says a "very very" speedy recovery) And I know you'll be calling me "fuzzy" again in no time at all. :) Stay strong! The Thompsons |
| Donna Burke Phoenix, AZ 2/13/2009 |
| Wally - Beating this should be a lot easier than out running that white snake that was chasing you, in the woods. I know you can beat this and when you do, I will meet you in Las Vegas for a drink or two or three... Blonde |
| Barry Ford Ottawa 2/13/2009 |
| Hi Wally. Brien mentioned that a web site was going to be set up and I just found it. It's a great idea because everybody wants to hear how you are doing but we don't want to be bugging you all the time. It doesn't sound like a great way to get back to your playing weight, but Im glad to hear you have lots of support, and your positive attitude towards fighting this challenge is sure to help. As I mentioned in my last Email, the poker group is still waiting for you to get back here for a game or two. Cheryl and I are cheering for you |
| Brenda and Brian Mellor Ottawa 2/13/2009 |
| Hi Wally!! Finally able to click into your web site, with the help of Doug. "I'm a dinosaur when it comes to computers" This web site is fantastic - now I'm able to print off everything and bring it home to Brenda - saves me trying to remember evrything. Contacted all the guys in "The Poker Club" and told them about your situation, they have asked me to send you their Best Wishes for a speedy recovery. By the way the next poker game is Feb. 20 - I'll save you a seat. I was a bit taken back by Doug's remarks regarding the Sens - but not surprised, considering he's outnumbered by his family - all leaf supporters. He's also a Tiger Cat fan - go figure?? By the way SENS WON AGAIN last night, that's three in a row. LOOKOUT PLAYOFFS. I also informed John, Pat and Marion and their thoughts are with you.On a more serious note - although we are in Ottawa, the three of you are constantly in our thoughts and prayers.Knowing you for the past forty some years, I know you won't take this lying down - your a stubborn "old" bugger. All our love and prayers - Brenda and Brian. P.S. Tell Ed to put the bottle of cognac in the freezer, when it gets low - he knows the results. |
| Mary O Toronto 2/12/2009 |
| Stay positive and our thoughts are with you and our family. We will support Krysta anyway we can, from her office colleagues |
| Ardy Jelderian 2/12/2009 |
| Hi Wally I'm sorry to hear you're under the weather. Hang in there, there's light at the end of the tunnel. I will say a few prayers for you. I know that God answers prayers. Ardy |
| Mike Ryan Scottsdale AZ 2/12/2009 |
| Wally, you certainly deserve the very best. Only the best for the best. I poured 2 shots of CR the other night, one for you and one for me. First I drank mine - it was real fine. Then I drank yours. Yours was actually better than mine - Darn good it was! If I drive up there, I'm gonna tell you to "Get in the truck, __!" a phrase that scared all you guys in Dallas. Hey, my daughter got married in Vegas Monday, 02-09. Went up there and had a nice time. Put $10 in the quarter slots for you and won $20. Couldn't win any for myself. Riddle me that. Will be repeating the CR 2-Test soon & will let you know how it goes. Good to hear you're getting excellent care & attention. Thinking of you, & as always best regards. Mike |
| Lisa Brighton 2/12/2009 |
| Hey D2...love getting the updates this way. That way I don't have to call everyday to make sure you are all okay. Keep your spirits up and we are all here for you !! Good luck with Princess Margaret Hospital. Love Ya xoxo PS. You sure about the stent, couldn't find the other alternative we talked about (lol. Pam Anderson was busy ??) |
| Maureen Clemens 2/12/2009 |
| Hey Mr. D. -- FYI, my dad had a stent put in at Brampton Hospital 5 weeks ago, and he could not be more complimentary about the job they did and the care he received. A friend of ours is one of the nurses who helped with the procedure and I'd say that you'll be in good hands. It's an excellent crew |
| Ali 2/12/2009 |
| Hey UW! This site is really encouraging.. It's good to know that you're still keeping up your attitude. I hope you're doing well, I miss you! Keep in touch. *hug* (at least you can't tickle me from there..hehe |

| Hi Wally, Brenda and Brian brought me up to speed on your health situation and the site has provided a great source for updates. I am glad to hear that there was early detection and you have a thorough action plan. Usually I would throw in a smart ass remark about the Sens vs Leafs or make a witty hair loss joke but you have carefully planned all of this to coincide with the worst season in years for the Sens and at a time when every photo of me from behind brings the stark reality of hair loss jokes home. So all I'm left with is Go Leafs go, may your locks regenerate and require two haircuts a week. I am thinking of you and praying for the best. Stay strong, you too Kim and Krysta. Love, Doug |
