Not sure what to say?

I was so sorry to hear about the passing of Walter, I have been shopping at Rieker's since moving to Fox Chase 11 years ago, I remember a time a came in to the store and he was cooking something on the stove, he asked me to come back and try it, he was very personable and I will miss seeing him behind the counter expertly slicing a delicous cut of meat....and asking me what I want to make my husband for dinner....my condolences to the Rieker Family.

What a wonderfully kind and ebuillant man Walter was. Walking into the store when he was there was like coming home - always a smile and a huge hello. The world is a darker place because of his passing.
My deepest sympathy to the Rieker family. Know that I hold you in my prayers and in my heart.

We will always remember our Friend Walter
The twinkle in his eyes and the most beautiful smile
Rest in Peace Walter till we meet again someday Our deepest sympathy to his Family this is a very difficult time for all to accept
God Bless You and surround you with peace.

We are very saddened by the loss of a good friend and tradesman. It was always a pleasure to drive from Allentown just to do our German provision shopping. Walter, his family and employees made the trip an enjoyable one. We will miss him very much. Please accept our heartfelt sympathies. With kindest regards. Paul and Lydia Smith. Allentown PA

To the Rieker Family,

To the Rieker Family
Our thoughts and prayers go with you all during this sad time. It just will not be the same coming into the store and not hearing Mr. Rieker's Wie geht's! Our drive up from Virginia to the store was always a special treat. God Bless you all!
Ed & Pat Brandt & Family

The world has lost a kind, gentle, caring man. Walter, you will be missed.

I used to travel from Harrowgate Park with my mom to Riekers market when I was a little girl. We chouldn't wait to go home to eat all the things we bought. Later when I moved to Fox Chase, I got to see him more and enjoy his friendly nature and his fine meats. I swear I gained 10 lbs. moving so close to his store, but I'm not complaining. I will miss our friendly "hellos" and his instructions on how to cook to make my husband smile. To his sweet wife, daughter and his son and his entire...

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. love always sue and nick Bruzzese
