To Walter, with Love
By Peter Sammarco - Dexter Realty, Vancouver
Your lens saw what most eyes missed,
the golden hush of prairie mist,
the stillness where the mountains rise,
the poetry beneath the skies.
In every frame, a soul revealed -
a whisper that the heart can feel.
You left us light, and art, and grace,
a quiet love time can´t erase.
To your dear family, near or far,
may you feel him in every star.
And in each sunset´s warmest hue,
Walter´s spirit watches you.
- with love,
Peter Sammarco

I did send a card but it was returned so I must have had the wrong address. Please accept our condolences and a big hug from us.
We have been thinking of you during this difficult time
Walter was larger than life- well known, well remembered and well loved

To Walter's family: We wanted to send our condolences from all of us. We knew him for as long as my Brother and I could remember, as my Dad owns Photo World. They were a funny pair those two...sometimes estranged, but mostly the best of friends heartily debating Photography and other baloney. I remember being very proud of a positive critique from Walter, and of telling childhood friends I knew someone who had their very own books!
We will miss you! Jon,Judy and Jason Jurok, and Sheri Lavertu

Greg: I will always remember your
Dad from Stampede of 1964. Your Mom and I were in the General Hospital with new babies and your Dad made a special trip from the Stampede Grounds one night with hot dogs and milkshakes for your Mom and me. That baby that your Mom had that time could have been you, I know it was a boy but don't remember the name.
Sincere Condolences.

Calgary is richer for the photo memories that are available. Walter was a very talented person.
