Not sure what to say?

To Linda Perez and sister Victoria Trafton. I knew you two the most when we were in high school on Annette Island. I am sorry to know that you lost both of your parents. It has been a long time since I seen you two. I give my condolences and will keep you and your brothers and sisters in prayer.

I knew Walt through my work. When he came in we would always end up chatting for half an hour or more. He was full of stories and a great sense of humor. He would even play with my kids some. I really miss seeing him but am honored and blessed to have known him.

Linda and I were blessed by living next to Walt and Ann. The are remembered by us as caring and generous neighbors. Later we were lucky to be able to live next to Vic and Linda Perez. The models of generosity that Walt and Ann lived we mirrored in the lives of Linda and Vic.

Walt was one of true "Airline" pioneers in Alaska and I was fortunate to call Walt boss.... Happy travels Walt... You are cleared for takeoff....
