Not sure what to say?

I participated in a couple of artisan festivals with Walt and was so impressed with this kind and talented man. I purchased a box from Walt that I keep by my chair at all times. It holds my sewing supplies. I see that he lived a long time after I last saw him in Crosslake. I have some wonderful photos from 2010 that I would love to share.

My deepest sympathy to your family. Mr. Grittner was a kind man with an extraordinary talent.

I have thought of Walt so many times over the years not being able to have our wood carvers shows. I remember sitting down beside him letting him direct me how to chip carve the way he did it. Such a great memory for me. I so loved knowing him through out the years. He is greatly missed but now is in heaven with his loved ones.

Ed and Barb, my deepest sympathies to you on the death of your dad.
