Goodnight & God Bless Mr Walter Gretzky sleep in Heavenly Peace

GOD BLESS WALTER GRETZKY, LOVE AND RESPECT, YOUR FRIEND LORAN.

That house should be a museum

Great hearing Walters memories of classic pivotal moments in Wayne's young life. Hockey Gold!

RIP Walter

An endearing down to earth human being was Walter Gretzky. Honest unscripted interview that everyone can embrace. Rest in peace Walter Gretzky

Wayne is just like his dad. Walter Gretzky is probably the greatest dad ever. RIP Mr. Gretzky.

He has no mean bone in his body....RIP Walter....you are A great one.

I'm very disappointed I'm only finding about Gretzy's wonderful dad after his passing. What a wonderful man. Reminds me of my father, and that makes me proud.

Please ignore my username.. but i meet this man (Walter Gretzky) almost every day when im at work. He is the ambassador for Brantford Ontario and gets free food at the McDonalds i work at. I also meet him at numerous Brantford Red Sox baseball games. He is a really cool guy!

RIP Mr. Gretzky

RIP Walter........... I will cherish your autographed picture.🌟

Wow this interview can truly show you how great of a father Walter Gretzky was. Walters vibe and energy is amazing. He must’ve been inspiring Wayne in ways he doesn’t understand, but Wayne remembers

My parents lived on the next street over from where the Gretzkys lived. I came home one weekend and my dad and I went to the Brantford Mall for a bit. All the old retired guys used to hang there. My dad sees Walt and waves him over and tells Walt this is my son I told you about etc. I shake Walt’s hand and say hi Mr Gretzky Nice to meet you. Of course Walt says call me Walt. After a few Minutes he leaves and my dad asks me how do I k ow that guy?? I said dad that’s Wayne Gretzkys dad! My dad couldn’t believe it. He talked to Walt for years and Walt never once bragged or boasted. My dad was totally shocked. Lol. Great men both of them!!!

What a legend this man deserve to be in hockey HOF. RIP great one.

What a gem. RIP sir.

I met the great one's dad at the Walter Gretzky tournament in Brantford Ontario Canada and got his autograph

RIP Walter Gretzky and thank you Don Cherry for promoting Wayne , the great old stock patriots will be missed.

i think Wayne learned alot more than just how to play Hockey from Walter.

What made Walter Gretzky a great hockey parent was that he let his son be a kid, and that he set him a good example. If you yell and scream because your child isn't getting enough ice time even though he's the best player on the ice, your child won't go anywhere in hockey. Kids become great hockey players by learning how to play as part of a team and by enjoying the game enough that they become truly dedicated enough. Parents set good or bad examples by how they act.

Treasured moments! I am sure the family will love these when the grief settles alittle. God Bless, such a humble man

hey shawn, stumbled onto this, are you doing the interview? I've been in the shrine three times in my life... and now just learning of walter's passing ive been looking up old stuff on him... and smiling... really gonna miss him man..

Rip Walter l😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

What a gem of a man! I guess there somethings you just can't teach kids. I was similar (with ballhockey tho) when I used to pass to all the girls cause I wanted to see them score. Other boys used to ask why I'd pass to them as they sucked. lol The thought just came to me naturally. I guess Wayne had that as well. You can teach pass people how to pass...but the ability to think pass first usually comes naturally.

Rest in Peace legend 🥇

If I had a father similar to Walter, I think a would have got drafted in baseball. I too was obsessed with baseball and hockey growing up NE of Cleveland, OH. My dad just plain booked when I was 4. I didn't have that fatherly influence. Thankfully my mom was sort of the Walter personality. She worked long hours but would always surprise me with old equipment from the old AHL Cleveland Barons back in early 70's that was given to her from work connections. But I wish I had that dad like Walter. You were a great father, Walter, and your entire family shows that.

Wow! What an amazing, insightful interview.

May he rest in peace

I still to this day won't get off my parents backyard rink. I used to do the same thing. Hockey is intoxicating

Rip walter

What a great guy, eh ...handsome man

Rip.

Wally felt like everyones hockey dad.

i met him today at school :)

It's uncanny the similarities between observations of Walter Gretzky and Earl Woods when reminiscing of theirs son's youthful dedication. But without a Fathers love and devoted support? Questionable.

Hockey's darkest secret: hockey parents ran Gretz out of his hometown at 14 years old.

one kid had no goal the whole year. Wayne told Walter I' m goint to be sure he's going to get a goal and the kid got 2. Wow so young and thinking about his unfortunate teammate.

Oh, and even if they don't become great hockey players, they grow up to become great people. Sports, especially team sports, has huge potential to make kids into upright and responsible adults. But too many psychotic parents ruin that. I played nine years of minor hockey not too long ago (I'm 21 now), so I witnessed lots of crap first hand. But Walter is the best.

It's obvious that they never discussed anything but hockey in that family. Very unfortunate. No art, no music, no culture

Well you can only buy about half of this. I've seen interviews with either Walter or Wayne where it was a different story, of interveiws with Wayne where he whined bout his old man being hard and forcing it on him.
