Not sure what to say?

I trained with Walter at Fort Dix, NJ, back in 1968. He was a great guy! His friendship made the challange of getting through "Basic" a little less stressful. I never saw Walter after Basic and after Vietnam...but I never forgot him. I'm sorry for your loss, Mrs Simpkins!

I will miss your great big smile and hugs.

Back in the 60's we were friends, may you rest in peace!!!

Sorry to hear about Walt. Walt was the nicest person I ever met. Knew him and His sister Carol many years ago. Marilyn Cooksey Elker.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Chief Simpkins was an incredible, kind and caring man and it was an honor to have known him. Please know you're all in my prayers.

Mr. Simpkins I will miss your sweet personality and your great stories of your life with your loving wife and family. It was a pleasure knowing you and I feel blessed to have been able to treat you at the unit.You really touched my life! Prayers to all your family!

Walt made everything around him friendly, including the Police Department, and all of Woodstown, for that matter. That was his special and natural instinct. We were all fortunate to be the beneficiaries of the friendliness that he so generously dispensed. His passing and the loss of what he so willingly gave us is, indeed, sad.

Frank and I wish to express our deepest condolences to the family of Walt Simpkins. Frank and Ellissa Paladino

Carol, Tara, & Sean. I am so sorry to hear of Walt's passing. I was in shock to say the least. My thoughts and prayers are with you all through this time. Love you Chickie
