Not sure what to say?

It´s been over 40 years. After Stein Bros and Smith Barney. Just somehow discovered his obit. Loved being in his company. So smart, so curious about everything. I was in the wall st. Business for over 50 yrs, he for much less. It really wasn´t his thing-he simply loved the game- whatever game it was. Never met his family- wish I had.

Remembering Walt as the funny, intelligent and vital man that he was... The world is drabber place without you in it, kid.

I was so sorry to learn of Walt’s passing. I worked for Giant Food many years where he and Linda shopped. After leaving there to join a family insurance business, I realized they had been a customer of the agency for many years. It was a pleasure to reconnect with them one day when they stopped by our office. Thinking of you Linda. ❤

I loved my uncle Walter from the time he surprised me and came to my 12th birthday party and attended our family get together. He was the center of attention.
He was self-confident with a slice of comic relief. In addition, he was erudite but not pedantic. Further, he was self-assured but never arrogant. In essence, he was a renaissance man. I had the greatest admiration for his intelligence and his independence.
He was the younger brother of my late father Arthur. I read that he...

My Uncle Walter was loaded with charisma for sure. He was unique and colorful and fun to be around when I was a little girl growing up. My heart goes out to Linda and my cousins.

Walt was truly an original. He expressed his opinion when he thought it was necessary and had a keen and inquisitive mind. He was also funny as hell, with impeccable comic timing. I acted with him and had a blast doing so. My love goes out to Linda and all his numerous friends. The world will be a duller place without Walt in it.

Maria called and spoke of the wonderful life you and Walter enjoyed together. May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

I was honored to direct him in The Odd Couple at C7. He was quite a guy. My condolences to his amazing wife, Linda and the rest of his family.

Walter and I were connwct by his wife, and one of my favorite clients, Linda. Although I did not spend time with him, Linda kept me up to speed on the fun, complex, extraordinary, character that he was. He came to the salon twice, and was always a gentleman. Even when I would occasionally see him and Linda out and about. I always enjoyed Lindas stories of how they met, Walt and his colorful life, and how they enjoyed the journey they grew into together. Life can just fly by, and great people...
