Walter Allen Shallcross

Our heartfelt condolences to the Shallcross family from the Dempsters. Bill, Janice, Doug and Andrew.

Coach Shallcross was a mentor to me during the time of my mother's illness and death. He trusted me to grapple with his boys after practice (great fun). He was a man of honor, both proportion and enthusiasm, and had a devilish sense of humor. I recall the following:

We were to wrestle Cranford when he solemnly pronounced that the Cranford coach had confided in him that his boys ran 5 miles a day. A wide grin spread across his face, " I bet they're excellent runners."

Upon...

In his life, Mr. Shallcross was a moral beacon for all who were touched by him. In our memories he lives as an ethical reference point by which we lead our lives.

This is a man of complete honesty, integrity and humility. I met Walt in my days as a young coach at Westfield H S.....always impressed with him and admired him from a distance. God Bless him and his entire family......he is certainly, up there.
