Losing someone we love is never easy. Life is precious. Each day is a gift. Walter was loved by many, and gave so much of himself on behalf of others' welfare. Truly a selfless, random act of kindness. He was blessed to have you all & vice-versa.

He is smiling at the wonderful tribute & honors being paid unto him at this time.

Be well everyone, and patient with yourselves & each other, as the days move forward.

Love, Marian, Casper Pee Pee, Jerry Man, Barney Boy, & Lucy Solomon

Mr. Yakimowski,
Sir, I didn't know you, but I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Navy 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.
