Walter's and my common ancestor was Peter Joseph Greif, who was born in St. Wendel, Saarland, Germany in 1809.
He came to this country around 1854 and died in Michigan in 1876.
He had five children. Walter descended from Peter Joseph's oldest child, Helen Greif who married August Renz and they lived for many, many yrs in Levenworth KS.
She was Water's great-grandmother. I descend from Peter Joseph Greif's third child, (Franz Joseph Greif) who settled in Uniontown WA in 1876.

He will be missed. Love him

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Walter you was the best reporter when I was growing up as a little girl. I've enjoyed watching you on 60 minutes.

Dear Walter This flowers for you.

I'm honored to be related to you, to be a huge fan of yours and to have the same birthday as your first born daughter. I've enjoyed watching you throughout the years and I feel privileged to be married to a submarine sailor of whom you reported on during the Three Mile Island disaster. You might be gone, but you'll never be forgotten and as I look at my own son I can see you. What a resemblance. Love you always...
