Not sure what to say?

I skated with Walter with the Speed Limits hockey crew. He was always in great spirits and welcoming. I also spoke with him in his role with the DPW, while working details. Rest easy my friend.

I met Walter when he worked for Baystate Medical Center. He was a really nice guy that I got to know personally. He will be missed by all the people that knew him. My condolences to the family.

I am greatly saddened by the passing of Walter ("Buck", as we used to call him). Walter was my father's (Charles LaBroad) cousin. They both played softball and hockey together in their 70's. I always enjoyed talking to Walter, he was a great person to know. I will miss him. Alan Charles LaBroad

Ken & family... sorry for your loss.
