Not sure what to say?

Hello, If any of the family checks this wonderful obituary you wrote, please contact me. I have photos of nose art for many of the aircraft from my father's files. He was a B17 pilot during WWII. [email protected]

Thanks for doing the work with the nose art collection.

Wally was my sister's father-in-law. Wally always had something interesting to say, he was a wealth of knowledge. Wally always had a smile to share and we enjoyed many holidays over the years with him. I'll always remember giving him sugar free candy for Christmas and that smile on his face. I'm glad to have known Wally and I am also glad he is at peace. He and Bonnie are watching over their family together again.

Wally was my grandpa so to me, he is known as Grandpa Wally! My dad, Jon Forman has worked so hard and has done many great things for my Grandpa and has worked non-stop to get his house in order. I remember one time when we went over to my Grandpa's house Christmas Eve when I was 3 years old.(now I am 11) We spent the night laughing away and opening different sized boxes and presents and all of a sudden, someone came around a corner in his house dressed as Santa. I'll never forget that year,...

As a veteran of World War Two, I only met Wally via the Internet, but he was an invaluable source of information about the airplanes that we flew. He was always generous with his time and resources.

My sincere condolences to the family and may he rest in Peace.

Wally hired me in 1956 and I worked for him for more than half of my 38 years at 3M. He was always fair and supportive. You couldn't ask for a more ethical boss. I cherish the quidance he gave me and most of all his personal friendship. We met for lunch last spring (a year ago) and he brought me up to date on Nancy and Jon, as well as his appreciation for his companion Jean. I was so pleased that everything was going well with everyone in his family and especially pleased that Jean had come...

I started my career at 3M in '66 and for the next five years sat outside Wally's office. I have always greatly admired him. He was an inspiration to all who knew him, a truly great man and he will be missed.

Jon and Family,
So sorry to hear of your dad's passing, he was a great man and lived his life to the fullest. Sonny always enjoyed visiting with him. Sonny said he always learned something new in their visits.
Warren Sweezy would like to extend his sympathy also.

I was saddened to hear of this great man's passing. I will always have such fond memories growing up with Jon and the positive things he gave to us. Even when Jon and I were, "standing tall before the man" for one of the numerous, creative ways we got ourselves into trouble, he was always fair and kind, and although he'd never admit it, I think he may have been impressed with our creativity at mischief making.

He impressed upon me the importance of family, being so dedicated to...
