I had the pleasure of being able to call you Uncle Walter too. Chrissy has been my best friend for over 25 years; and Ralph always told me I was his 3rd daughter, so I have always known you as family. Your memories will always be kept alive in our hearts. Swirl Aldine around on a cloud and say hello to my husband Patrick and my dad Bob. We love you all.

I have so many wonderful memories of Uncle Walter from my childhood, He would swing each and everyone of us through his legs in Grandma's kitchen while we were waiting for dinner to be ready, he was like superman never getting tired. The five of us always wanted to sit next to him a dinner we always knew that the monkey bite was coming just not sure when and we would giggle all during dinner just waiting for our turn.

I also remember a time when I was not feeling good and could not go to work, Uncle said he was going to fix me up said he would be right back, well when he came back he brought me a glass of Brandy. He warmed it up and made me drink the whole thing, he walked me to bed, tucked me in and I fell right off into a deep sleep. Hours later when I woke up he was in the kitchen asked how I felt and I felt GREAT!! I had so much energy we made dinner together for everyone when they got home...

I also remember as I got older every time I would eat dessert he would look at me puff up his cheeks and say Oh Chrissy be careful or we are going to have to widen those door frames and we would laugh so hard.

When I was in College and had to do a stock project I had no idea what to pick so I went right to him to help me. He picked my five stocks and showed me how to watch them. If only I had money to buy them boy did we make some good money too bad it was only on paper.

Uncle Walter you were such an important person in my life you were always there when I needed you and I love you more than words can say. You are now in Heaven with my Mom I am sure she is showing you all around taking good care of you.

I love you and miss you always

Love Chrissy
