Walter Gretzky - father of Wayne - has died. I always liked him as sporting dads go. Not overbearing or obnoxious, modest in the extreme. If anything a little too much in his own lane. He taught one of the greats a different way too see the game, but wasn't in a hurry to monetize it or get his own fame. Stayed in his home town, and seems his greatest guilty pleasure was his own collection of his son's memorabilia.
