I'll miss not seeing him....Rest easy Wally...

Wallys passing leaves us with a heavy heart but he also leaves us a great feeling because his spirit and memory will always be with us. His legacy will be of friendship,laughter,mentor to young men (hockey coach),family man,and great stories of his travels.He leaves a great family behind,but he came from a great family when he was growing up in Readville.
My brother Steve and I have known Wally since the 1960's, we grew up with him, his brothers and his sisters.We've had Readville as a connection and common theme all our lives.He has been a wonderful friend to my brother and myself.
He influenced me to vacation in Aruba with his interesting stories about the island.I had the fortune to join him in 2010 when Wally, Eileen and friends were there,the pictures and memories of that time will make me think of Wally.
He was Americn Legion post 458 Commander during the early 1970,s and to us guys from Cappy's he'll always be the "Commander" or just plain Uncle Wally.
To everyone in his family we send our heartfelt sorrow and deepest sympathy.
You will be missed my friend.
