Walker Schofield

Walker was a great guy I always enjoyed my talks with him at OAME My condolences

Thinking of Tom, Mary, Sue, and family at this difficult time. Sincerest condolences from the Katchabaw family.

I am to this day grateful for the guidance Mr. Schofield provided during my years at Oakridge. Condolences to all the family. Fred Schmidt.

I had Mr. Schofield for Grade 9 math at Oakridge in 1979 and also knew him and his family at Metropolitan Church. His wife Nancy played the piano for our Sunday school classes. Walker was a very kind man, a great teacher and had a wonderful sense of humour. He would sometimes join our lunchtime pick-up basketball games and demonstrate his vintage hook and set shots. My deepest condolences to all of his family.

We'd like to offer our condolences to the family for the passing of Walker. As a neighbour ; we'll miss seeing him on his afternoon walks with the ladies .

I taught with Walker my first three years of teaching at Oakridge. He was such a kind gentleman and helped me so much as a new teacher. I have very fond memories of a very fine man.

I would like to express my sincere, heartfelt sympathy for the passing of Walker. My parents (Phyllis and Doug Gray) and I knew Walker and Nancy primarily through attending Metropolitan United Church in London, ON. My two older sisters had the privilege of being taught by Walker at Oakridge Secondary School, in London, ON. They remember him with great respect and fondness. Walker was the dearest person. I was always able to feel at ease with him. I will never forget his kind and generous spirit. He will always be remembered. Sincerely, Barb Gray

A wonderful person is gone Walker quietly inspired his fellow colleagues and students to always achieve their best My condolences

Tom and Sherry The staff wish to send you sincere condolences on the loss of your father and father-in-law.

Walker, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your loved ones. Cheers to our good times with the Oakridge Oaks. .

Our sincere condolences to the entire Schofield family. Dan and Bonnie Joynt

What a wonderful human being that had such a positive influence on so many of us. I graduated Oakridge in 1973. He was the math department head and my teacher for 2-3 years. I was pretty good in math and he mentored me as I'm sure he did for many others. After university, I became a qualified actuary. Until Walker told me about what an actuary was, I had no idea. We also had many laughs together. He had a great sense of humour. I always appreciated that he tolerated my smart-ass tendencies. My thoughts are with the family.

Mr. Schofield was my favourite high school teacher. He was gifted at teaching and was such kind and thoughtful person. In addition to learning math from Mr. Schofield I also had the opportunity to be mentored by him in running the box office for one of the Oakridge musicals (West Side Story). He had an important positive impact on me and so many other students. My condolences to his family for your loss. Best wishes, Beth Potter.

My sincerest heartfelt condolences to you Mary, and family. It is never a good thing to have to say goodbye to a loved one. He will always be in your hearts with all the memories you have shared. It was nice knowing that you followed your father's footsteps, I am sure you made him very proud.

Tom and family, our deepest sympathy on the loss of your father.

Mr. Schofield was one of my math teachers at Oakridge in the early 1980s. He was a true gentleman. I'll never forget on opening night of Wonderful Town in 1982, he was out in the lobby making sure all of us cast members made the correct entries on cue from the back of the orchestra seating area as we were required to do on a few occasions. I was waiting for my cue, and he strolled up to me with a big grin and said in a hushed tone, "Stephen, this is so much fun, isn't it?" He made an effort to get to know all of his students and most assuredly had the respect of them. Anyone of my classmates at Oakridge, when alerted to his passing, will have fondest memories of Mr. Schofield, someone who demonstrated day-in and day-out, he cared about us and our progress as young people.

Thinking of the Schofield family at this sad time. Our sincere condolences.

Dear Tom and family, we are sorry to learn of your Dads passing. My Dad, Bruce Phillips, always enjoyed volunteering and spending time with your Dad. May warm and happy memories of your Dad bring you comfort.

So many words come to mind when I think of Walker - kind, gentle, thoughtful, caring, smart. We worked on many Metropolitan committees together and I always welcomed and valued his presence and opinions. He made such a contribution at Met. He will be remembered. With love, Susan

A brilliant mind, and a wonderful man. Carolyn and I, and all of Metropolitan will miss him greatly, and remember him most fondly.
