Wally and I served together in the Army. We were buddies from the day we met at the AFEES station departing for Fort Leonardwood. We completed basic training together, then went to Fort Ord, CA for Infantry School, Graduated together in the top 10% of our class and was sent to Non-commissioned Officers Class together at Fort Benning Georgia. then on to Scout Dog School together. After Gradutaion, we both reported to Veit Nam where we were then sent to different Divisions, Me to the 101st Airborne and Wally to the Americal Division. The time we spent together was full of great lifetime memories. Those were difficult times but together, we helped each other cope. There were so many times where we had the time of our lives. We experienced things nobody would ever experience. Most of all, I knew Wally always had my back. I think of him often and I will always treasure the fact that we served together in the Army. Wally's obituary and photo are on my refrigerator where I see it every day, and it will remain there. You're the one!

"I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love." Leo Buscaglia
