Not sure what to say?

I met Walter when I was walking my dog several years ago. I found him laying on his back in his yard surrounded by a hedge clipper and clippings from a holly bush he was trimming. I helped him to his feet and our friendship began. After spending some time with him, I learned that this quiet, humble, and very gentle man had an extraordinary life.

He gave me a pill box with a beautifully etched top he made as a prototype for an artist in California. I learned that his work with this...

Mr. Balliet was one of the dearest and most kindest of souls. I thank God for allowing me the pleasure of living in his presence. We enjoyed many long talks about his life, for which I am grateful.

He is at peace now, reunited with the family that truly loves him and for that I give praise and glory to God.

You will be missed my friend!
