I have known Walter since the 70's when his son played baseball with my son, Bobby. Walter was my lawyer, did wills, advised on contracts and bailed me out once. He was a wise man and a family man and later as a Judge was fair and impartial. I have not seen him much since he left the bench but I will miss him.

I am so very sorry. I pray that memories of great times spent together will comfort all of you as you grieve this goodbye.
