Walter F. "Herky" McGrade

Whoa, a pic of '13! No Way! Sad, but fond memories as looks just like the adventurous "Tween" from Chelmsford St. @ Forest who made us "men" by taking the lead of us kids, including Paulie, but I don't think 'Queenie', off on treks like roaming the ice of Hale's Brook to unwittingly break through coming ashore or pedaling our one speed, steel bikes to Concord on tomorrow's!!!! Patriot's Day! RIP great neighbor of yore. My Condolences to the family.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Sandy, Susan and Billy,
I am very sorry for your loss.

Dear Rose and Family
My sincerest sympathy to you and your family on your loss. Herky and I were teammates on the Lowell High School football team in the mid 1950s. I will always be indebted to him for taking the time to write up and submit the application package for my induction into the LHS Athletic Hall of Fame. Again, my deepest condolences. John V. Freitas, LHS 1956.

Just want you all to know how much I appreciate your caring and thoughtful wishes sent me and my family. Walter was my rock, my life, my love and I will miss him more than anyone will ever know. Thank you all for your compassion and kindness and being there for Walter and me during these last three difficult months.

Aunt Blanche

My sincerest condolences. I will try to remember the big bear
hugs and his smile. Loved bumping into my godfather. He always made me smile and will always be "Herky" to me. Sorry for your loss. Kate
