Read MoreI am so sorry for your loss. I knew Wally from Litton Precision Gear (1986), he was always so kind and always had a smile on his face. He so loved his family, he would talk about his kids, he was such a proud dad. He will be missed. I know he's one person I missed when I left Litton Preicision Gear.

My favorite Uncle will now be able to play cards with all his brothers and DziaDzia Winiecki. We will all miss his wonderful back scratchs and gentle ways. He had a great singing voice and would get on his knees at Chistmas and sing "O Holy Night" with all the other Winiecki's. We love you, Unc.

We never understood the courage it took to be a pilot in the Pacific until we visited the Boeing Flight Museum in Seattle. There we saw the type of plane that Uncle Wally flew---the little, tiny Corsair ...it looked barely able to accomodate a grown man and was probably put together with bubble gum and baling wire...AND it would land on a moving vessel.
Permission reluctantly granted for take off "Winnie"....head for the horizon..Jeanie, Helen and your brothers are waiting for you....

One of the kindest and most gentlemanly men, that was my Uncle Wally. Best back-scratch in town!

We are deeply saddened by your loss. Even though it's been a while, we always enjoyed Wally's visits at the lanes. His sense of humor was wonderful and he always had a smile on his face. He will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time of sorrow.
