Not sure what to say?

I enjoyed seeing Walter putter around our office, still fighting the good fight after so many years. He was a credit to the legal profession and raised a great family as well.

Cheifetz Family, I was so sad to hear of Walter's passing. I enjoyed working with him as he wound down his practice and began volunteering. He was a special man with a great sense of humor. I will always remember that smile and him walking around the office singing. I am very sorry for your loss.

Knew him in the late 50's and 60's. Admired him so much.

Hi Ruth, What a wonderful man Walter was. I worked with Walter during my eight years with Samaritan Health. I loved the sparkle in his smile especially when he knew he make a point and that was most often. He was a great guy. I spoke with him about a year ago when my dear friend Charlotte gave me his number. He was a joy to know. God bless Walter. Tom Galinski

Dear Ruth and Family,

Please accept my most sincere condolences, and kind wishes - I feel fortunate to have known
and worked with Walter, beginning in (I think) about 1979, when I met him through Samaritan Health Service. Over the many intervening years, it was always a pleasure to see him, as at every step he shared his powerful intellect, sense of humor, and elegance. A true gentleman.

Warmly, Chris (Shirley) Saper

I send my sincerest condolences to Ruth and the family. You may add my name to those whom Walter mentored and I was privileged to have known him and to take advantage of his wisdom and common sense.

Ruth and the Family,

I enjoyed every day at Lewis and Roca with Walter. He was a great lawyer and an even better person. I learned something from everyone of our conversations.
He will be missed.

Patti and I send our sincerest sympathies to you and the family.

Dear Ruth, we were so sorry to read about Walter this morning. I remember the good times we had playing tennis at Yavapai Hills and our cruise together in Europe. If you ever get up to Prescott, please stop by.
