Not sure what to say?

Methyl and Walter´s family, Deepest sympathies to you all. 60 years ago, Walter and I shared a dormitory room at the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Va. Though we did not create a close and stay-in-contact friendship, I fondly remember the time shared and the paths we walked together. Walter was a gentle and sincere young man then, and from reading other tributes, he remained so for the rest of his life. He was clearly inspirational to many he taught and was loved by friends and...

Our deepest sympathies, Methel. Though a gentle person off the court, Walt was an intensely competitive tennis player on the court. I had the privilege of playing with Walt, winning our last match together on February 20, 2020 in the 70+ Lee County league.

Dear Methel, We are so sorry to hear about Walter. Although we haven´t seen you in recent years, we remember the times we spent with you and Larry and Sandra. Walter was truly a gentle man. I remember a night of Christmas caroling when I knew we were out of our league when you pulled out a pitch pipe! We are thinking of you and sending our love and sincerest condolences.

Dear Methel, I am so glad I have all those wonderful memories of our times with you and Walter in Sanibel. He was such a gentle, kind man. I see Walter and Ray playing a round of golf up there. Sending you love, know I´m here for you. Marian

We will all miss Walter, the gentleman that he was! kisses

Made chemistry interesting, mostly because of himself and his style. Enjoyed going to class, and never heard any of my classmates ever speak ill of him. Continued chemistry in college. Too bad he wasn't my professor! God bless!

Dear Methel, It was a privilege to know Walter. We were a good team at selling raffles for the Chorale. I´ll pray for you and the family. You are very special!

Methel So sorry to hear this sad news. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Larry and Carol Peltier

Dearest Methel, I am so deeply saddened to hear of Walter´s passing. The love you shared has been a true inspiration to me and, I am certain, to many others as well. Tom and I are holding you close in our hearts and praying that you are surrounded by those who love you, offering comfort and strength during this time of sorrow. With love and deepest sympathy, Debra and Tom Barrett
