I know Walt is now basking in the light of Christ and resting in His loving arms forever...and I know he found his beloved Miriam once again. I first came to know the two of them in a prison ministry program and became friends at St. Timothy Parish. His stories of their endeavors in helping those less fortunate in Jamaica were ones to remember! They both were true servants of our great God. My condolences and prayers to the family. Thanks for calling me your 8th daughter Walt! RIP

I will miss Walt's wonderful smile & sense of humor. Midge was on the team for my Cursillo (Cum Christo) weekend, many years ago. I met & fell in love with Walt (& Midge) after my weekend. He was always a rock & shared his love of God with all!
RIP Walt! You will be missed!!

I discovered Walt's kindness when I first met him during overnight adoration in church. My time slot was after his. He stayed with me because he did not want me to be there alone, and offered apologies that he might fall asleep! Heaven will be filled with beautiful origami now that Walt has moved in.
