Walter Charles Arfons

My step dad Tom Green partnered with him to build Wingfoot Express jet car. Walter was a great guy

Being a friend of his son Terry, I first met Walt and Gertrude when they lived on Pickle Rd. I was immediately impressed with his generosity and friendliness. I'll fondly remember those qualities which he imparted in his sons. Rest in peace, dear sir. Dick & Mary Boyce

We saw new ideas and lots of frustration at the Akron Blimp Hanger. The Arfons race team was great. R.I.P.

Exciting and interesting times getting the "Green Monster" to run at the blimp hanger. R.I.P.

My sympathy to Gertie and all the Arfons family. I have many great memories of Walter and the whole family. Walter was a genuine man and I'm glad to have known him. My prayers to you all.

To the Arfons family,
I am sorry for your great loss. I met Walt while working at REX'S salvage. Walt was a great guy to know and talk with. I am so glad I got to know him. My prayers go out to Walt and the family.
May you rest in peace, Walt.

My first enounter with Walt Arfons was back in the 1960s, when I was a teenaged hospital volunteer and he were a patient. I delivered an evening snack to him. He was kind, funny and I never forgot who he was as I had two subsequent customer service encounters with him He was legendary and I am glad to have crossed paths with him. RIP Mr. Arfons, may you and Art have racing fun in heaven!!!
