He was indeed a fine musician and a great sax player. DePaul University was blessed to have such a good person walk through their school musician as a student. He was an inspiration to the entire music department. RIP

I just want to send my deepest and sincere condolences to you and your family on the loss of your father.

Dear Walt
I am very sorry for your loss. My Dad is gone 10 years and my Mom just passed in May so I know the pain you are feeling.
Your Dad will always be in your heart, your mind and all you do. He will not be forgotten.
You and your family will be in my prayers. God bless you all.

Walt, My deepest sympathy to you and the entire Parazaider family. My father always looked up into a starry night to see his dad, and now I do the same. Sometimes just a simple "hi Dad"..seems to help. You are in our prayers......
