I was a friend and neighbor of Walter(Rosie) for many years on 111th Ave. I didn't know he passed away. I am planning a trip to the old neighborhood next week and tried to call Walter only to find his phone disconnected. My condolonses to all his family. I would like to contact his niece that he always spoke so highly of.

Wonderful memories of visits with Arlene and Walter. I miss Walter's weekly phone calls. We're not related but our families ties go back 3 generations...great times with "big Ethel, Little Ethel, Aunt Ella, Pops, Uncle Fred, etc". Miss you Walter. Miss our clown "Rosie".
Love Diane/Frank
