And even as a little boy, I still remember walkin in to Calvin and Beverly`s, Eddie and Ora`s, Eugene and Ann`s, Donald and Nelly`s, Jimmy Lowe "Nims"(LoL)with u behind, they all asked "WHERE WALTER" Cuz you and Jimmy Lowe together (LOL)!! Guaranteed Laughs. If they weren`t partyin in Heaven, they are now.

Thanks Dad. Yo son Jeff.
