Dear Marilyn, Holly and Bobby, my
deepest sympathy to you. I had the
pleasure of working with Walt in the
50's @ Channel 12. Walt was one of
the nicest Producers and Directors
you could ever work for and with.

I was so sorry to learn of Walt's passing. Among many of his musical organizations, he was a well-liked and much-respected member of the Ed Maddern Sentimental Swing Band and the Rhode Island Wind Ensemble, where I got to know him. We shall miss him.

Bob and family - my deepest condolences. I remember your father's good cheer and kindness, and am thinking of you all during this difficult time.

I knew Walter many years ago at WPRO-TV. I remember him with such warmth, he was such a talented, kind and gentle person. My sincere sympathy to Marilyn and family.
