Not sure what to say?

Walt, I am so sad to just learn of your passing today. You and Mr. Cooke have been my favorite coaches since I was 6 years old skating at Starlight Arena, then returning in my adult life to finally be able to skate Regionals (4) & Nationals (2). You always pushed me to be the best skater I could be, by giving it my all and helping others skating along the way! Your retirement party many years ago was so much fun that day with plenty of Sunshine!. RIP and I know that you are still giving...

A true mentor Mr. Walt. There were hundreds of kids that admire you and could come to you for anything. Much love and respect

Rest in Peace Sweet Walt. I cant think about Kiana without thinking of You and that means I think about You and Dee daily.

His professionalism, talent, and beautiful smile captured my attention. Walt was always a kind, and inspiring. I loved going to his Roller Rink, Starlight, as Walt was always so welcoming to all skaters. Thank you Walt for teaching me that kindness is the only way to live. I dedicate Goodnight my love for the last skate of your life. I...

My heart is breaking for you, Walt.

Dearest Walt O, My thoughts and prayers are with you .. my heart hurts thinking about your pain - which I know so well. Walt will never leave you .. he lives forever in everything you do ... our grief doesn't always let us feel that now but you will come to feel comfort in his everlasting presence. I know how hard it is to say goodbye .. for Walt to say goodbye .. but it is even harder on those of us left behind to try and make sense of any of this. I send love and prayers ...

Uncle Walt always inspired me to explore life. His best words of wisdom to me were to always walk with my head up like I was always going somewhere, even if I wasn't. Those words have helped me professionally and personally throughout my life. We will miss you Uncle Walt. Love Connie
