for Wallace BLUMENTHAL

Not sure what to say?





I was very saddened to learn Wally passed away. I met Wally at Sonoma State while we were attending classes. We became friends working on school projects. He was a good friend and I always enjoyed catching up with him at the Christmas gatherings at Agilent. Wally lit up when he talked about you Stephanie and your son Dustin. I will miss seeing his smiling face at the holiday functions when I look around the room in the years to come. I am so sorry for your loss.

Oh my I keep thinking of him. I knitted him a ski sweater; blue with white designs, I never knitted again. And that silly little motorcycle he got for me that my mom would not let me ride. But I remember riding on the back of his Harley all the way to the Arizona River and I was an adult so told my mom when I got home. I had a tiny hole in my jeans at the knees and it got sunburned because of the way your legs sit when a passenger on a Harley. And the Mexican Food we would eat at Jalisco's in Imperial Beach Too many memories and so sorry for his fAmily to lose this amazing man and musician.

I am saddened by the passing of Wally. He was the first boyfriend that I had in high school and senior prom date. He was an amazing father and musician. He wrote the whole musical score for a play that I wrote for my church when we were just teenagers. So sorry I never got to say goodbye.. Terri Moore
