I Know that there ar no words that can ease your loss but remember that Walter will aways be alive in your thoughts and in your heart. Walt an I were classmates at Hauppauge H.S. and except for a brief meeting a couple of years ago, like many of us we lost touch.

To the family of Walter,
There are no words of comfort that I can think of that will ease the pain of your loss. You can rejoice in the spirit of the Lord that Walter will be looking down on you forever. Your Husband, Father, Brother, Uncle was a classmate at Hauppauge High School. I have a vivid image of Walter with his youth-full smiling face we once all had. Let your mind and heart remember all the fun and joy you shared and keep his memory alive in your heart. For this you will all be forever joyous. God bless you all.

My deepest sympathy to the Drechsler family. We will miss Walter's passion and enthusiasm in the gym. Walter loved the gym and always made you laugh whenever you were in his presence.

My deepest sympathy to the Drechsler family. Still in shock over Walter's passing, He looked great the last time I saw him at the sports reunion two years ago. Walter and I wrestled each other at practice for 2-3 years since we were the same weight class.
Walter my friend, God Bless you and your family.
