Walter "Walt" G. Cantley

The world lost a beautiful man and we lost a wonderful brother in law, Walt Cantley❣️We will miss forever his kind heart and lovely face! As the Irish say...God be good to him!💙

I met Walt when I came back from a deep sea fishing trip with fish I didnt want...My spouse worked with his wife at the time, directions were provided, fish delivered, friendship started....Friday or Saturday nites were spent playing cards, & making Strawberry Daiquiri's.Our lines of work were at opposite ends of the earth...insurance & law enforcement....who knew Robert had already selected his career back then....but Walt often reminded me of the day Roberts mind was made up.. Honest, compassionate, able to always find time for everyone, family always was his #1 priority......the plaudits go on. The occasional visits & the lengthy phone calls will be missed. I will truly miss his allowing me to be his friend & occasionally use my nickname for him.

Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss... Our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Walt was a very kind neighbor to me when I lived across the street from him and Patty in Sun Prairie. I enjoyed talking to him in the yard or sometimes in the driveway. I’m glad I got to know him and Patty better being such good neighbors.

Walt Cantley has been in my life since I was born. He could light up a room just by not only being a shockingly handsome guy, but with his quick grin and great personality! He was always there to make my dad laugh, he loved my mom like a sister and could get her to agree to any wild idea he had, and he was always fun. He was generous with the his time and his guidance and his patience. He was always up for a story-either to listen to one or tell you one. That was the only hard part for my parents when we moved to Alaska, was leaving there dear friends who they had grown up with and had kids with, Walt and Debbie. Walt was a treasure, and our only joy is knowing he’s pain free, drinking a Coke, and hanging with his pals and loved ones in heaven. He is already missed.
