That you for the opportunity to learn about this outstanding man. I did not know him but that does not diminish my admiration. I add my appreciation for Walter, the veteran, the activist, for standing up for peace and humanity in the many ways he did. Truly a light in the darkness. My condolences to his family and friends.

Walter sounded like a great man who cared about people and the injustices in the world. I'm sure his influence on the younger group will be good for the Peace Movement.

His candle of peace never dimmed
On a freezing, snow-bitten night the mid-1980s, a humble man of peace stood on the steps of the Ridgefield Town Hall with a single candle flickering in the dark.

A TRIBUTE TO WALTER
Walter
What a man!
A giant of a man.
He had opinions. Many opinions. Strong opinions. And even stronger convictions.
That is not very noteworthy. All of us have many strong convictions. But what distinguished Walter was that he did not hold these to himself. He did not hide them.
No Sir. He took the opposite route. The Road less travelled.
He wanted the whole world to know his convictions. He...
