Missing you and Nina! We had so many wonderful times together and you both supported me in all that I did. Thank you Uncle Wally. I will always love you and laugh and smile thinking of our fishing trips together.

I still remember Walley showing up at our house when I was about 10 yo. He drove up in his new Chevelle and he took us for a ride. Burning rubber down Teton Trail. He found a remote straight away outside our neighborhood and said with a smile, "Let´s see what she´s got!" That was my first time doing 120!

Love you Walley and thanks for being such a great uncle and sharing your joy for life! You are with me always!!

Nina and family,
Please accept our most sincere condolences.
I worked with Nina for many years at Driver and Vehicle Services and know how much she and Wally loved each other. He often sent her flowers to the office.
Our prayers are with you.

Wally, you made life fun! I will always remember our times fishing together (even if there were no fish...the infamous Lake Elmo!!). Thank you for everything and it was one of my greatest honors to be your Best Man for the re-affirmation of your vows with Nina. I love you and always will my uncle, my friend and many times life advisor.
