Tributes are pouring in for Walter Gretzky.
Wayne Gretzky confirmed his father’s death Thursday night on social media.
The 82-year-old is being remembered as the ultimate hockey dad and a nice guy who would take pictures with anyone who asked.
We asked you to share some of your photos of the Great One’s dad.

@morninglive the last time I met Walter was Oct 2019 at a Wayne Gretzky Collectors dinner. He took the time to speak and take pictures with each and everyone of us. As he always did. RIP Walter, father hockey. pic.twitter.com/nuE19QHA10
