Not sure what to say?

Mr. Chandler was loved by so many including me and my entire family (The Gadow’s). My mother, Glynda, typed from many of his writings on his life history for him which were very intriguing. Then, my father, Don, was grounds keeper and mowed and bush-hogged various properties Mr. Walter owned in the Okolona area. He was a generous man and as a housewarming gift gave me a table and six chairs for my dining area. He will always be loved and remembered with many fond memories by me and my family....

Another of "The Greatest Generation" has passed. Walter was an amazing man. Our sympathy to your family! Here's a video of Walter that you might enjoy: https://youtu.be/JDRUXHr9c2I?t=19s

Carol, I was so sorry to hear of your Dad's death. I'll never forget living next door to your sweet Mom and Dad in my younger years. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

My prayers are with your family at this sad time, may God Almighty be your strength and support. Psalms 83:18. ~I.Needham

My condolences to the family.God give us a wonderful promise to look forward to at 1 Corinthians 15:26.

So sorry for your loss. Mr Chandler was a sweet and kind man.

Carol, so sorry for your loss. Your dad was a great man and did so much for the city of Okolona. He will be greatly missed!!!

Carol, so sorry to hear about Uncle Walter. He was a remarkable man and lived a great life! I used to love to listen to him and Daddy discuss(argue) various issues when we were young. Thinking of you and praying for you and the family. I will be sure and let Mary and Jamie know.

Carol, I am so sorry for your loss. Your father was a wonderful man that my whole family adored. He had been to family dinners with us and many other occasions such as my house warming a few years ago. My mom, Glynda Gadow, really enjoyed typing his many books and we all enjoyed reading them. My dad, Don always enjoyed helping him keep up his properties and respected him greatly. He will surely be missed!
