I would like to extend heartfelt sympathy to Uncle Wally's family. I have fond, happy memories of him when I was a child--calling him Aamo, him always telling me he had 20 yrs on me--motorcycles and cars--Losing a loved one is a hard thing to deal with, the pain eases in time, but never goes away. You are in my thoughts and prayers.See you on the other side,Aamo. Love, Freddy
