Noreen, Shannon, Steven and Erin,
We were shocked and saddened to hear of Wally´s passing, far too soon.
He was an amazing aircraft mechanic when we first met him in Thompson, Manitoba and later in Ottawa, Ontario. There were many moose hunts, deer hunts and fishing adventures over the years. Wally was a dear friend and we shall miss him.
