I have posted Walter's obituary on the Fullerton Union High School All-Alumni blog so that more of his classmates and friends may see it and get a chance to leave a comment in the Guest Book.
Although this is a very sad time, Sherry and Walter made many happy memories during their years together that I hope can help ease the pain.
