Walter Raymond Hartwig

Our father believed very strongly about the priorities of his life. They were, accept Jesus Christ as your Saviour and put God first, be willing and ready to serve your country, believed very much in the importance of family, and last but not least, work hard, and have a good sense of humor.
We heard many many times from him, that idle hands were the workshop of the devil, and that if a man did not provide for his family that he would be better off if he would tie rocks around his neck...

Dad was a wonderful man, always kind and giving to other people and family.He either was hard at work or looking for something fun and exciting to do, and most of the time he found it.Most of all he was a great provider, a loving and devoted husband, and the greatest dad to me.
My life will always have an emptiness that ony could be filled by him. I will miss him more than words could say, but i will meet him and mom in heaven one day.
His loving daughter

I was so saddened to hear of Walt's passing. He and Dorothy were wonderful friends to me, at a time when I really needed one. I will always remember stopping by the house after work and talking for hours. My prayers and thoughts are with all of you during this difficult time. God Bless

Words cannot tell you how sorry I am to hear of Walt's passing. Many of my funniest memories from childhood include Dorothy and Walt. They were a part of our family and I know we will all miss him terribly.

Precious Friend,closer than a brother and loved dearly. My own health problems separated us this past year but Walt was never far from my thoughts and always in Sylvia's and my heart. Our most cherished memories were the times the four of us shared and the loss of his passing is deeply felt. We will meet again.

I will miss Uncle Walter. He always had time to pick on you in a loving way and made you fill special.
Missing you! Dave Bietz & Family
