I was privileged to know Walter at Harbor Chase where my mother was also a resident. Walter charmed all the ladies at the afternoon domino game. I loved hearing his stories and looking at his drawings. He also enjoyed looking at my paintings when I brought them for my mother to see.
A couple of months ago Walter did a drawing on a canvas for me - a collaboration - he did the drawing and I painted it. Today I went to Harbor Chase to see what improvements Walter would suggest. I was sad to learn that he had passed. I am attaching a photo of the painting. I am offering it to Walter's family, and if I do not hear from them I will hang it at Harbor Chase in his memory.
Thank you Walter - a great artist, a great story teller and a great friend. Rest in peace.

I am in awe at how one person can leave such a footprint on the world. The world is a better place because he lived. I am blessed to be able to call this amazing man my grandfather.

Dear Tina, Russell and Ann: I was saddened to read of Walters loss. I remember him in so many ways beginning as a teen when we used to go over to your house and he would be there bigger than life. Through the years it was being on committees with Walter on Hurricane Club/football, Orange Bowl Committees, some Museum /art show committees and more. It was fun to be around him with his smile and laughter. He always had nice things to say to all. He had a good life. Blessings to all, Bethany Baldwin Tesche
