I just learned of Walter's passing and am very sad. We were good friends at Kenyon College and rodd back and forth to Cleveland often to see our families. He had a youthful joyful ness that I will remember. Please know he is missed.

Wally spent several summers with us on the farm near Magnolia. All the neighbors (and us too,of course)loved him.

We are very sorry about Walter. He was a very sweet man. He will be missed. Please let us know if we can help out in any way. God Bless!
