Not sure what to say?

Wally sold me my first motorcycle A 350 Honda when he worked for Honda on Van Ness Ave in San Francisco CA. He was a wonderful guy , he was encouraging knew how to bolster confidence. Not too long after he told me he was going to move to Michigan. I have had 4 more mc's since Wally his words regarding how to ride stay safe and keep control stay with me. I think of him over the years hoping all is well. Lately he has been in my thoughts. Here it is 48 years later I wish we could say...

My sympathies to "Grandpa Walter's" family. I only had met Grandpa Walter through him selling us so many Toyota cars through the dealership but he became so much more than a salesman to our family. He was so kind, caring, loving, gentle and often times offered prayer with us when our family was going through tough times. Had I only known that Walter needed my prayers. Grandpa Walter was even there for me when my mom died in December 2006. What a blessing he was! May the wonderful...

Dear Walt:As your younger brother, I praise your faithfulness and steadfastness to those you have touched. You have given us all a great example by demonstrating the Lord's encouragement to give a cup of water, a hand to one in need.
When we meet in heaven, I'll race you in a chariot race.(Unless it is a Heavenly Kubota because I know you would smoke me!) Looking forward in seeing you again when I get to heaven too.
Jane, you are THE BEST and a rich blessing to all you touch! ...

Jane and family,
I remember first meeting you and Walt at Cascade Christian Church. You have always been such great mentors and extended grandparents to many of our youth at church. My twins were fortunate to be part of the Christmas Eve Service about 10yrs ago and they were kings. It was so nice of you to share your farm for some filming of the nativity scene.
We were so sad to hear of Walt's passing. What a blessing he was to many.
Sincerely,
The...

Dear Jane and Family,
You have our deepest sympathy in your loss. We remember meeting Walter once before we moved from Grand Rapids; he seemed like such a nice man.
Sincerely,

I also had the pleasure of working with Walter while I was a receptionist at Kool Toyota. I will always remember Walter for his big heart and his funny sense of humor! I don’t think he ever knew how much joy he brought to everyone’s life around him. May God bless you Janie and the family.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time of sorrow. With my deepest condolescences. Zachary has some wonderful memories of grandpa.

A GOOD DAY IN THE BACK TWENTY!

WALTER

THE JOY AND HAPPINESS YOU HAVE BROUGHT ME AND MY FAMILY WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. IM THANKFUL AND VERY PROUD TO HAVE HAD YOU AS MY FRIEND. YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE A SPECIAL PLACE IN OUR HEARTS. I WILL MISS YOU AND ALWAYS LOVE YOU. REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND. KASWFM

Wally helped me quite a bit when I started as a salesperson with him at Kool 4 years ago. During my time there, we became good friends. I'm sorry I didn't get to see him more often after changing jobs, he will be missed.
