Wally, Your upbeat, creative and generous artistic life continues to inspire me. Now in my 23rd year in your old office as the Exhibits Bureau lead, I look out the same windows in the same space with a different internal environment and will always remember your kindness, enthusiasm and service. Thanks for continuing to inspire my life.

Wallace, you made such an impact on our lives. We learned a great deal from you. Rest in peace....

We treasure your memory and our friendship. You remain in our hearts.

We will never forget you, my friend, and still treasure the carved giraffes that you and Jessie presented us upon return from your African trip.

We never will forget Wallace, who brought such light to our lives through his artistry and through the interviews he did for our television program. He and Jessie were magnificent people.
