WALTER BLOUNT

Walter was a tremendous friend of mine. He was a tremendous father. We attended Howard university together in the late 60's. He was very sudious and and a tremendous friend.

I'm late to find this out..as Walter was a great friend and my first manager in the working world at Kemp Mill records throughout my college years. Because of him my record collection is phenomenal just as he was..Rest peacefully my friend

To the Blount family, I will always remember Walter smiling, cracking a joke and of course sharing his very special collection of jazz music with family and friends. Peace and love to Linda, Ericaand Elisa and all the grands. B Smith

Dear Walter, I will be chanting Nam Myoho Renge Kyo for your continued happiness and enlightenment in all future existences. Peace and love to Linda and all the family - Betty Smith, Howard U, class of '71
