Our time together working at MDS was short, but I enjoyed it so much. I am honored to have called him a friend. We just ran into each other after several years in Wegman's, and held up the line catching up on old MDS times. I just learned of his passing this evening from another MDS employee who I ran into. He always radiated such a genuine warmth and kindness and I will miss him. My deepest condolences to his family. Ellen Borraccia

Dear Cousin Walter,
Your broad smile with a nod of your head as you greeted me let me know you were glad to see me and wanted to know if everything was all right. You faithfully gave me friendship and support at work at MDS. I always enjoyed our after-hours conversations about work, life and love. You always cared and offered to help whenever you could, and rarely asked for anything in return.
Thank you for your generosity of heart, providing a way to make any day better, and above all your unconditional friendship.

Smile because it happened."

We will all miss you. :-)
