Read MoreI have a baseball that was signed by Walter ... he gave it to my Dad, who met him at a restaurant in Andover, Mass called Fieldstone’s. My dad worked there then (1965 ?) so I am sure Walter had come in to eat.
Dad spoke well of him ...
I wasn’t sure if anyone the family would be interested in the ball as a token of my appreciation and admiration of Walter.

I had the pleasure of seeing him play with the Sacramento Solons, around 1949 or 1950. Another member of the team at that time was Joe Marty.

Thinking of you often my dear Friend..you were always a gentle giant, and brought laughter wherever we went. I miss you but I know you were called to play again in God's Field of Dreams.
Love/Miss You

i was in elementary school when your dad played for the white Sox. He rented a place from my parents in indian rocks beach. I was a tomboy. He spent time with me almost every day teaching me how to pitch and catch. Even though I was very young I knew what a good man he was. There's a life magazine article picturing him other players and me growing a huge cast net into the water. I think it was 1952 or 53. From the obit I can see what a wonderful father he must have been. I have no idea why...

Thank you for your service to this nation.
