Dear Barbie and Family, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Walt was quite the character and although it's been many years, I will always remember him has such. Such a loving teddy bear under that tough exterior! I hope you all can find strength and comfort in your memories. Hugs to all of you.

I am so sorry to hear of his passing, he was a wonderful man and what I remember most is going on the best camping trips to Curlew Lake and the laughter and love that was always shared with friends and family. He will be missed; all my thoughts and prayers are with the entire Wolvert Family.
