I remember Wally from when I was a little girl at the "original" Sunrise Lanes, my mom bowled with Wally on a league. He always called me his "little good luck charm" I have always remembered him through the years and remembered what a very sweet man he was... my condolences go to his family.

My sincere condolences to the Karukes' family. I hope the pain you now feel in your hearts is replaced by happy memories of time spent with Mr. Karukes. One of my memories, is of this very Big Man with a very Big Smile, and Walt laughing, at young boys and there Antics.

I had a lot of fun Wally when we bowled together and I wished I could have seen you more often in the last several years. I know you are now making God laugh, you were always making me laugh! Love, Lance
