5/9/25, I put in Walter's name on the web, as I had to no avail at times over the years, and found this sad news. 1958 -59, we were seniors at Stuyvesant. We came from different ends of the city, Bronx and Brooklyn, but had a few traits and goals in common, like finishing up high school as soon as possible. We each finished classes by shortly after noon walked to the Union Square subway together, went uptown - me off to work. He was strong, confident and funny. We never met after June graduation. I'm happy he had a full loving life! Jesse L. Moskowitz

Sorry to just find out about this. I loved having Walt as a neighbor. Great sense of humor and fun to be around. He taught me all about Zen mowing.
