Not sure what to say?

Distant cousin but always great to see him.

I'd only seen Walter a few times in our early years and remember him as having a positive outlook and jovial character. My condolences to his family. First cousin, Bob Arango

Always enjoyed the funny stories he shared about our family. Enjoyed listening to each and everyone of them. Much love and sympathy to Erika, Gigi and family. Rest In Peace Waldy

So sorry. May he rest in peace.

Dad.... I can't wrap my head around the fact that Im never going to hear the sound of your voice and your laughter. A day does not go by that I havent thought about something funny you have said or done. I miss you more than than you could have ever imagined. My heart is broken. I love you..... your daughter. Gi

Rest in peace, my dear first cousin.

Zig, you and Erika were such dear friends to our entire family for so many years, and you were like a father to me. My stepdad, Jim De Witt, served with you in the 11th Airborne and we've always called you "Army Buddy Walter."

I hope you knew how important our friendship had been to me over the last 40 years. From the 80s when we were taking care of our BMWs. Through the 90s, when you stood by me as my best man when I married Kathy. Through the 2000s to the present day when I always looked forward to our visits and hang time. Rest in peace, my dear friend. -Paulie-
