Walt was my dear friend and coworker at GM. We would go out for lunch 3 or 4 times a year and always before Christmas. We enjoyed a love of old things and antiques. I gave him an old radio because I knew he enjoyed restoring them. I just tried to call him and couldn't get through and now I see hes gone. So sad. Ill miss him.

I've been Walter friend and neighbor for over 10 years. It was a pleasure to know him. He was very funny person to be around and had a generous heart for giving. My mom and I will deeply miss him so much.
