In Memory of Walt Buehler



Walt Buehler
5/11/2019

Many of us knew Walt by his smile and his love the game. He started playing in 2014 and like most players quickly became involved.  In addition to Winter play at Palm Creek, Walt also belonged to the Parkland Pickleheads at home. He did play competitively in tournaments but liked refereeing even more. In addition to being a referee for 3 years in the USAPA Nationals and many other tournaments, he also gave clinics for the Parkland Pickleheads and at the Central Lions Club in Edmonton.

2009 Walt at Work

Since the 1980's Walt was a sound engineer for the Edmonton Oilers on broadcasts on CFRN radio and later at 630 CHED. It appears that sports ran in his blood!

Many club members have commented on how they enjoyed playing with Walt and his friendship. He will be missed by many. 
This is also a difficult time for Walt's wife Elana, she is currently in hospice.

Like a bird singing in the rain,
let grateful memories survive in time of sorrow
.
--Robert Louis Stevenson
