Read MoreWalt was a friend, a coworker and the cornerstone of our CY basketball game. The games went on for 22 years because of Walt. A great guy who will be missed by anyone who had the good fortune to know him.

My friendship with Walt began at the tax office. He was very knowledgable, funny, interesting and diverse in his hobbies. Every summer he'd show off his garden and share his vegetables. He took pride and great care of his home, his yard, his dogs, and he loved the two special ladies in his life, Suzanne and Nilda. I will miss Walt very much, he was a warm and sincere man, stubborn in his politics, energetic with his dancing, picky in his eating, but hugged like he meant it!

The thing that I remember most about Walt was his signature page "call 208". He was always willing to accommodate operations department when we had a problem. He was a asset at CY.
