Walter always did his utmost, as he understood it, to help his wife, children, other relatives, friends, and co-workers, and to honor his Father, Jesus Christ, and Mother Mary. God bless and keep him!

Dear Marie and family,

I extend my deepest sympathy to you on the loss of your husband and father.

He was an accomplished and successful man.

I will never forget, Marie, our long and happy years together teaching at Koda under Gary Adelson. Your trip to China was not without reservation due to Walter's illness.

After 43 years of teaching, I am retiring next week from the Palm Beach County School District where I have been for 22 years.

Caroline and I have 7 grandchildren ages 16 to 4.

You have been blessed with 66 years of marriage to Walter. Enjoy your memories. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
