Sincere Condolences to Ann and the entire Pirtle Family. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Ann and Family, In 1968, I started as a management trainee at the Gary Village Store and Walt was the Sales and Merchandise Manager. He taught me how to be a merchant. Several years later I was assigned as a department manager at the new Waukegan store and things were not going well. Walt came to the store for district check and I shared my frustration with him. He told me to hang on and he would find something for me. Several weeks later I was promoted to the warehouse merchandiser...

Dear Ann and Family,
Irene and I were saddened to hear of the passing of Walt. You have our deepest sympathy.
Walt was a very good friend of myself. We go back many years starting in Hammond Indiana and many places after that. We spent great times together on a several fishing trips and many other social occasions. I believe the last time that we saw the two of you was several years ago at the Wisconsin Dells.
Rest in peace Walt. Our prayers are with you and your family.
Fred...

Dad,
I will never forget you and all that you've taught me. I cannot believe that you are gone.
Thank you for your love and your patience. Thank you for being my Dad.
I love you.

For a short time I was a caregiver for Walt and during that time I got know him. I'll always remember the poker games and companionship memories. Whenever I hear The Eagles I will think of you Walt. Rest In Peace. Your friend

For such a BOLD man he was also a peoples person for those that he worked with. This trait served him well in his 50 Years of serving our...
