Wallace Eugene

Trudeau

"Wallace Eugene Trudeau was born on November 9, 1928 in Port Angeles, Washington to Joseph and Eva. In his early twenties he moved to California where he met the love of his life, Jill Klee. They were married on December 16, 1950, starting a long and happy life together until Jill’s passing in 2014. During their almost 64 years of marriage they raised their two wonderful children, Michael and Susan.

Wally began his career on the waterfront in 1955, as a marine clerk for ILWU Local 63. He loved his work and worked an impressive 62 years before finally retiring at age 88. While deeply proud of his time spent on the docks, Wally’s greatest pride was always his family. He dedicated his life into being a loving husband, father, uncle, grandfather, and great-grandfather. His family was the thing he was the most proud of.

Wally was passionate about camping, fishing, and off-roading. He was the happiest when he was sharing those adventures with his family and making memories with the people he loved most.

Wally’s warmth, spirit, and enduring legacy live on through his 2 children, 8 grandchildren, and 14 great-grandchildren. He was a remarkable man whose gentle strength and profound life touched all who knew him. He will be forever missed, dearly loved, and eternally remembered."
