I was so very sorry to hear of Walter's passing. He had so much life ahead of him. Although I met Walter many years ago thru another "gone to soon" Rich Ciampa they worked together at Hertz. My son Daniel also worked with Walter at Hertz, they became such good friends. Dan has told me what a kind and thoughtful person he is. Dan will miss him dearly. He looked up to Walter not only was he a good friend but a father figure. He is lucky to have had such a wonderful person in his life. Walter, I...

Walter was my first true love! We met at the block yard behind Ball Square on Boston Ave. It was such a great time growing up, hanging at the arcade and hanging with a great group of people! Sorry you’re gone at such a young age Walter, RIP my friend.
