Walter,
Today we say farewell to you our vacation friend. It has been a pleasure knowing you and spending time with you and Karen each September at the lake. Paul and I will miss sitting on the "dock" discussing Red Sox/Yankees, Bruins/Rangers or whatever the topic of the day might have been. May you rest in peace.
Karen,
May you draw strenght from these memories also. And know that Walter may be gone too soon, but will live on in spirit. You and Walter's family are in our thoughts and prayers today and always.

Walter is not gone, he has only gone on before us. He will remain with us in our hearts until we meet him again on the streets of heaven.

We will miss a great guy with the big smile.
