Walter A. "Wally" Balden

I was so sorry to hear from Chris that Wally passed away. We always enjoyed seeing the two of you when the George's had all of us over. Wally made us feel welcome and we have such fond memories of being around everyone. Our sincere sympathies to all who loved him.

Jean i am so sorry and so sad to read about Wally. My heart is broken for you and your family and prayers to help get through this. (I will never forget Freshman year!)

My heart felt condolences to Jean and her family..Wally was one of the "good guys".

All our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Wally was a superb cousin! My favorite memory is shortly after delivering our fourth child Wally, Jean and family appeared at my hospital room door bringing his unforgettable smile. I had no idea they were coming to California so the surprise was perfect and perfectly Wally. Such a gift. Wally always brought joy no matter the situation. Our hearts go out to Jean, Anna, Christine and Rachel. He will be sorely missed.

We met Wally and Jean over a decade ago when our son, Josh started dating Anna. Once the dating led to something more serious like, "Meet the Parents," Wally opened up his home and his heart to our family. We grew closer when Anna and Josh had their first child and named him Walter. The grand children brought us all closer. Wally had a big, caring heart and shared his love openly. Wally will be greatly missed by all.

I remember Wally as one of the nicest and friendliest guys in our class at Rosary.

Please accept our deepest condolences. We are praying for strength and comfort for your family at this time.

Jean and Wally were neighbors of my parents in Wildwood for over 10 years. My parents loved the friendship and great times they always shared together. I pray Jean, his daughters and family are comforted by the wonderful memories of Wally and knowing they have an angel watching over them. I didn’t know Wally very well but his wife Jean is always so kind to me. My parents retired out of state but are so saddened by this loss of an amazing man.
