Mr. Schlieff,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

To my second family;
Uncle Walter was an inspiration to me in many ways. He emulated Quiet, kind, funny and caring.
In his radio shack, I learned about the big world out there, and got my license as a result.
His physical presence will be missed by many, yet his spirit will live in me for the rest of my life

Uncle Walter was and always wil be our Gentle Giant Teddy Bear. Although he was a "Quiet Man", for those of us who knew him and could read his facial expresions, it was quite obvious how much he loved his family - including his extended family of Foster Children. He opened his heart to all and we are so much better for knowing him. I'll always remember when he bought his first car - the 1959 Chevy - because then you all could come and visit us!
Both Donna and I extend our condolences to all of you! We love you all

Dear Auntie Rita,

I am deeply sorry to hear about Uncle Walter. Mom has been keep all of us aware of what has been going on for years. Uncle Walter was our quite uncle who would observe everything. Out of no where we would hear him laugh and we would giggle. I will always remember him when you both would come to the house for the summer parties. Dad, Uncle Johnny and Uncle Walter would sit under the trees and watch all of us swim, some would smoke cigars and some would have their beer. I am sorry I can not make it home for the service but you will all be in my thoughts and prayers.

OXOXOXOX

Hugs and kisses

With love,
Andrea
