Memories and Condolences
for Walter Bennett

Not sure what to say?





Dear Bennett and Lyons Families,
We can hardly believe that it has already been a year. We consider it such a honor to have been Wally's neighbor for so many years. There was never a time when we would talk, that he did not make us laugh. What a special gift he possessed. His love of life was contagious. We think of him and you often. Hopefully the block superintendents are keeping watch over all of us.
Love, The Boone's

Sheryl and Family,
Thinking of you all on Wally's First Anniversary. May you all know that even though he may be gone from your everyday lives he truly lives on in each and everyone of you.

You all are such a wonderful and loving family which is in part because of the wonderful husband,father and grandfather Wally was.

My Love to you all,

Aunt Betty, Sheryl & Correne,

Dear Betty,
We are so sorry to learn of Wally's passing. I always thought the world of you both. Wally was one of the nicest guys I've ever met, and I have thought of you two often. God Bless you and take care.
