I will miss Wally's antics and great story-telling at Pleasant Valley and Saturday morning breakfasts at DNA. His ability to set people as ease and be an empathic listener were a couple of his loveliest quailities. Wally shared his passion for story-writing by offering a class with the members of Pleasant Valley Senior Citizens. Because of the atmosphere he set, those who were a little reluctant to share found it easier to do so.He gave without hesitation or without seeking anything for himself.Wally, I will indeed miss you.

What a great man Paul was. He always brought a smile and a laugh to me whenever he would come to the library where I worked. I will miss him dearly.
