Lisa, I'm very saddened to learn of Wally's passing. We didn't speak often but it was always nice running into him and talking for a while to catch up on things.

I, too, was a classmate and very dear friend of Wally's. He was a great encouragement to me whenever we talked. Though I haven't seen him in 21 years, I still remember his smile, life and great spirit. I will truly miss him.

The Edwards family,

I was a classmate and friend of Wallys in Highschool. I enjoyed a lot of laughs with Wally growing up. I saw him several years ago and he was the same great guy I remembered. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Lisa: I just heard about Wally's passing and was shocked. I am so sorry I did not know sooner so I could have attended the services. I had just recently spoken with him and he said he was doing so well. I have known Wally for many years through business for his landscaping and snow removal help. My prayers are with you and your children through this very tough time.
