Obituary

Allan John Walton died peacefully at the Southampton Hospital on October 11, 2025, in his 75th year.

Allan is survived by his loving wife, Linda; daughters Bernice (James) and Katie; granddaughters Ayla and Abby; and son-in-law Dave Fenton. He is also survived by his brothers Frank (Glenna) and Bill (Lynda), and many nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his parents, Albert and Blanche (Foxford) Walton, and his beloved daughter Amy.

Born in Brantford, Ontario, on August 10, 1951, Al earned his post-secondary education at Mohawk College in Hamilton, where he became an electrical engineering technologist. He began his career in Sault Ste. Marie, working on radar at the airport.

Al met Linda at Oktoberfest in 1975, and they were married the following September. After Al accepted a job with Ontario Hydro, they lived in Deep River for a year before settling in Port Elgin, where he later worked for Bruce Power until his retirement in 2009.

Al and Linda enjoyed many years of travel, both before and after retirement. As a family with three young girls, they camped extensively across Canada and the United States in their station wagon and pop-up tent trailer. In retirement, they towed their fifth-wheel trailer to California, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, and Florida before purchasing a home in a Florida retirement community. They enjoyed many winters away and made many lasting friendships there.

Al struggled with his health for the last several years, and fought with quiet strength and courage for as long as he could.

Visitation will take place at the Eagleson Funeral Home on Friday, October 17 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
A service to celebrate Al’s life will be held at St. Paul’s Anglican Church, 248 High St., Southampton, on Saturday, October 18 at 11:30 a.m., with refreshments to follow in the church hall. Burial will take place privately.

If desired, memorial donations may be made to the Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation.
