Obituary of Walter Jerry Kot

Walter Kot, late of Regina, SK, passed away peacefully on Sunday, November 20, 2022 at the age of 75 years. Predeceased by parents John A. and Barbara Kot, Walter will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 47 years, Grace Kot of Regina, SK; daughter Jennifer Kot of Calgary, AB; son Adam (Terri) Kot, grandchildren Owen and Lucas of Regina, SK; brothers Andrew (Gerry) Kot, Paul Kot, Thomas (Nancy) Kot, and David (Tamara) Kot; sisters Patricia (Calvin) Read, and Marilyn Kot (Cate Dobhran); sisters-in-law Joan (Glen) Macdonald, Nora (Larry) Pegg, and Barbara Armstrong; brother-in-law Philip (Patricia) Wellman; aunt Dorothy Gaab; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Walter was an avid sports fan, particularly of the New York Yankees, cheering his favourite teams on through thick and thin, always optimistic about the next season. He had a passion for music, and attending concerts and festivals was one of his joys in life. A trivia buff with a broad knowledge and love of history, Walter’s eclectic interests ranged from science fiction to agriculture. He will be remembered fondly for his quick-witted and playful sense of humour. Walter’s presence will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved him.

A private celebration of life will be held for family during spring 2023.  For family and friends so wishing, donations in memory of Walter may be made to SCEP Centre Early Intervention & Training Services. (www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/scep-centre-society-regina/)
