Fond memories of a great man. He was my boss´s boss. Knew his relatives. Lots of laughs. Remember hiding his son´s clothes with a family cousin, while he was out doing yard maintenance at the facility. Fun times, Little Wally.

I'm so sorry I didn't see this notice sooner so I could express my condolences to Mr. Solberg's entire family, friends & colleagues. He will always hold the most special place in my heart. I was his secretary at Northrop from 1971-1972 & will simply never forget the support & respect he showed me during that short year. The environment in the working world at that time did not offer women the option of wearing pants suits to work. When I decided to challenge this policy, he fully supported me to the upper management group & recommended a policy change be implemented. I ran into him in the city one day by chance, some 40+ years later, & he recalled that situation like it was yesterday! So happy we had the chance to laugh a bit about this moment in time but mostly to thank him for his kindness & generosity what a special man. Sending my blessings to forever rest in everlasting peace & love.

I worked under Wally for over 17 years at NORTHROP GRUMMAN CORP. As our president he carried the ESD Division to great Heights through his vision and focus on mission. He was well known for his strong focus on quality, customer satisfaction, and exceeding expectations.
Most imressive of all was his belief that people were the strength of any organization. As my responsibility being employment, he insisted on hiring the best. Treating them fairly and honestly, rewarding excellence and assuring those who met commitments at 120% were recognized. He insisted on professional growth, gave stretch assignments and trusted commitments would be met and exceeded. Wally was one of the finest and most exceptional leaders I had ever worked for. He was a mentor and well respected as he never let go of his family focus which extended to his staff. May his soul rest peacefully in the embrace of our Lord. Wally was one of a kind.

My sincere condolences to Wally's family. He was my friend and boss at Northrop prior to his retirement. We spent many hours together and his love of family was always foremost in our conversations. He was not just my boss but a valued mentor and friend. His counsel and advice remain fresh in my mind to this day. May God's peace be with all his family today.
