Walter was such a lovely man, it was so good for PJ, (RIP) and I to have him and Christine stay in our house in Limerick, Ireland. They were always so kind to us when we visited Seattle and so good to Patrick, Cora and Shona. Sincere condolences to dear Christine, Peter, Rebecca, Victoria and extended family. Phil Carter and family, Ireland.

Though we only briefly met Walter, he was a great man and we know he will be sadly missed. Our thoughts are with you all.

As part of Walts English family we all extend our deepest sympathy. On many visits to the US Walt and Chris extended us great hospitality and various walks and climbs around the washington countryside, these will always stay in our memories. Walt was always keen to pass on his extensive knowledge and experience and took great pleasure himself in this kindly act. He acted as hotelier, tour guide, driver and encyclopidia and suffered our English sense of humour and our noisey children with...

I am shocked and deeply saddened by the untimely passing of Buck Sellers. I have known him for over 60 years and admired his athletic prowess, his leadership in the Delt house at Whitman, and his leadership in Boy Scouts. However it was his sense of fair play and joyful spirit that I will remember the most. He was a hero to me when I needed one to emulate. He is a special man. I will miss him deeply.

Walter(always Buck to me)was friend not only at Edmonds Hhghschool, but also for four years at Whitman. I was fortunate enough to be on the recieving end of many of his perfectly thrown passes while at Edmonds. Buck may have been one of the most natural athletes that I have ever seen as all sports came easy to him. He had tremendous quickness as well as being just plain smart. My last fond memory of Buck was when he delivered the most thoughtful eulogy for Ron Crawford at our 45th reunion at...

I knew Buck for over fifty years. We spent our high school years together in Edmonds, graduating in 1956. After high school the world opened to a large menu of adventure for each of us and we chose different courses. Mine was fun, but not always wise. Buck"s was always wise. He finished college, became an officer in the U.S. Navy, and saw the world. After the navy he enrolled in law school, met a pert English gal who became his wife, and returned to Edmonds to hang his shingle, live and...

Walt was a magnificent man and lawyer. Although we are saddened by his passing, he is in a much better place.
Chris, and family, we pray for the happy repose if his soul, and for your peace and consolation.
