The Cantrell family lived on Sylvan Ridge Drive in Atlanta, and were friends of all neighbors, including my Dad, Ray, my late mom, Betty and me, Pam.

Walter Cantrell, Jr., along with his brothers lived up the street from my family. I knew all of them and thought highly of them. The closest to me was Gary in age.
My most sincere sympathies go out to his wife Pamela, and the entire family. May God comfort you during this time of sorrow.

I have known Walt for years. He was a wonderful person, so loving to family and friends, he's an Angel in heaven now, I will see him again one day. I didn't see Walt for a few years, but after getting on at GE in 2005, I landed in the Suzuki division and we found each other again. I want to express my deepest sympathy to Walt's wife, Kimmie and Trey and to all family members. All of us here in Suzuki are saddened by Walt's passing, he was our friend. I love you guys.
