I first met walt in Aldo and Ediths Barsottis house in the mid 1960 and have always had a fond memory of Walt and Elva, and what great people they are. We were ever so lucky to come in contact with such fine people. Walt will always be remembered as one of the best. I always enjoyed his sharp comments. Carlo Casagrande

Where do I begin. When I met him at the Rod and Gun club he and his family welcomed me. That friendship lasted and still lasts with the family. Its been many years now, and as I reflect back, I see him teaching me how to salt water fish, join in games at the club, and help me with my boxes for the troops at war. He touched the heart of many that passed through those doors.

Walt was both a good friend and a great fishing buddy. We shared a lot of good times at the Club. I will forever have wonderful memories of our Salmon fishing trips. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Al and Emily Mann

I had the pleasure to meet Walt at the Main Rod and Gun club. His wisdom and humor will be missed by all. He always had a smile and a kind word for everyone. I would always look around for Walt, but he came by less frequently as time went on. I didn't have the pleasure of meeting his children, but you sure had the best. I'll always feel his presence when I'm out at the pier, or just having a drink and a hotdog at the clubhouse. I'll miss you Walt, but I know your with your lovley wife in a better place. A friend

I will miss Walt but will keep him in my thoughts every time I troll the pier or make a cast. I know he's reeling in a nice striper right now. Thanks for all your wisdom over the years.
