Although our paths had not crossed in decades, I still remember Walt fondly. I have lived out of state for 40 years and rarely get back. Kay Price let me know of his passing. All three of us were MHS classmates.

He was my absolute favorite to take care of. He made going to work fun, & he brightened my day every day. It was always a pleasure to see him. Every day I got to work- he was the first one to get a hello & the last one to get a good bye
