Walt knew my father COL Lew Huggins, MSC. I met him while at Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Medical Center in Lafayette. He was a true gentleman. Although our paths didnt cross too many times, we spoke on the phone a few times and again, a true gentleman. I regret not driving down to visit with him, as his invitation to do so was always open. The Lord has gained a wonderful soul, who devoted his life to our country as, I feel, the Lord expects we Americans to do. Rest In Peace Walt.

To the Hays Family.....Through my work as Executive Director of Cadets of the Ole War Skule, I was fortunate to have met and know Walt. I am glad that our paths crossed. Although you will miss his personal presence, you should be comforted by the reality that he touched many lives during the time our Lord gave him here on earth. May God continue to Bless and Comfort you.
For the Long Purple Line....
