Wally and I worked together many years ago in the 70's in advertising. It was an enjoyable time. My wife, Cynthia, and I would like to express our sincere condolences to Wally's family.

I met Wally about 20 years ago. He was a great guy to talk to and be around. I especially enjoyed discussions about the Bible and his faith in his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He was so pround of his son, Andrew. Maurice Russell

To the family,
Although I met Wally only 5 months ago, I was immediately impressed with Wally's high degree of intelligence, compassion, culture , love of cooking and fine dining and love plus trust in God.
Wally helped tante Soem, his neighbor and gave of himself to the MAX, always creative, thoughtful and above all a GENTLEMAN of the old school.
Respectfully,
Ling
