Walter is a very close friend of my father, one of the people who has known me all of my life. The last time I saw him was at my sister wedding and as always we were overjoyed to see each other. Fish was his nickname I have been told he was a great swimmer. Worcester will never be the same for me one of the finess, kindness,
gentleman has returned to God. I know my family will miss Fish and I will never forget him.
