Ron, I don't know if you remember, but you and I were UA classmates and Holy Trinity confirmands. Your dad gave me my first job and I will be forever grateful. I am sorry for your loss and hope that your faith will give you strength and your memories will ease the pain of grief.

Ohio's national and international reputation for excellence in educations can be attributed to Frank Walter's leadership and dedication to the needs and interest of youth. Frank leaves a powerful legacy as a result of his encouragement and development of so many capable educational leaders in Ohio. He will remain my hero and role model forever.

Eventhough he was my dads cousin we always called him "Uncle Frank." There were memories of swimming in the pool in Upper Arlington or when "Aunt Jane" and "Uncle Frank" held a college graduation celebration for my brother David. He will be missed and remembered by many.
