Zukowski Family..
So sorry to hear of Walters passing. Though we were cousins we really didn't get to grow up together. I will remember the good times when we did get together for some family gatherings. We will miss the storys he shared and his constant joking and ever present smile. He will truly be missed by all. May you be at peace from your joyous remembrance of who he was and keep him in your heart forever..
Sending sincere condolences from the entire Peryea Family
