Not sure what to say?

I watched the Funeral online. It was beautiful!!! Sending prayers to all of you! Your dad was special!!! Always had time to talk to me.

I have loved Walt for 40 years.
The memories have been flowing on and off for the last couple of weeks of hearing about his health. Walt always filled the family gatherings, conversations and vacations with such joy and laughter. Even when he was very serious we still could find humor. He lifted up our spirits with his presence. One special trait that Walt had is he always enjoyed every person he met. He would carry on conversations with people he didn't know while he and Delores were...

So very sorry for the loss of Walter. One of the nicest,kindest men I have ever known. Always a smile and concern for other people! I’m sure him and your mom are enjoying a cold cocktail with Kenny and Sue in a much better place! Thinking of you all Laurie Stoner Featzka

Walt was that special kind of person that was genuine in his honesty and caring for others. I remember him as a formidable euchre opponent who always forgave my forgetfulness and less than stellar play. He was the same on the golf course. He was steady, not spectacular, and usually finishing first in a foursome. I saw him as a caring husband, father and grandfather, and a great friend. Rest in peace, Wally...

Walt will be missed by all who knew him. he was my favorite neighbor while growing up! Walt always had time for the kids in the neighborhood, fixing bikes, breaking up fights, piling us all in the car, as many as would fit including the trunk, and taking us to the drive-in on hot summer nights to give our mothers a break lol. Many prayers for Walt and his family and love to all especially my BFF aka my childhood partner in crime xox
