RODENHISER, Walter Clifford - 79 of Dayspring, passed away Friday June 15, 2018 in South Shore Regional Hospital, Bridgewater. Born in Dayspring on February 28, 1939, he was a son of the late Clarence and Blanche (Taylor) Rodenhiser. Walter went to sea at the age of 15 and over the course of 50 years, became Chief Engineer and retired at age 65 after 20 years with OCI (Formerly FPI) in Riverport. Throughout his life, Walter was a great lover of animals, with oxen, cattle, dogs and cats as part of his life. After retiring he never got far from the sea as he spent most of his time tinkering with his boat and helping everyone with theirs, as he was able. He spent time in the great out doors loving to hunt, although in recent year, shooting deer was usually done with only a camera. Walter is survived by his sister Florence Holmans, Dartmouth; brother Burton, Ontario; partner Anne Ward, Dayspring; numerous Nieces and Nephews; great and great-great nieces and nephews; not to forget his little buddy Tootsie the cat. He was predeceased by brothers Robert, Harry; sister Ruth Wentzell. Graveside Service will be held 11:00am Thursday in Dayspring Cemetery. Family flowers only. Memorial Donations may be made to SHAID or the Charity of your choice. On-line condolences may be made by visiting www.corkumfuneralhome.ca
