Walter,
I remember when your grandfather held you the first time. I remember you as a little boy of about 3 years old and you were holding a catfish your grandfather caught. Guess you liked fishing even then.
I remember the cookouts at your mother and dad's house. Even though I didn't see you much after you became a man, your mother still kept me informed about you: your good times and your bad times. You lived your lift with gusto and the way you wanted to.
You will be missed.

Walter,
You would always lend a hand for a friend in need;
Whenever I needed to talk, you listened with an open mind and kind heart;
You were an excellent person to share a bottle of red wine and old memories with;
You were my friend. I will miss you.

Walter,
You are loved by family and friends.
Thank you for teaching our family,
and friends, of the knowledge you had on building people’s dreams, homes, or even a shed. To some, you will be missed as a brother
while others you left a lot of knowledge that will be used by family and friends.
You had such a way of yelling to get everyone’s attention. Always screaming, “Linda, get me the duct tape”. First thought, you were going to play a joke, and instead you asked me to load up and help with your boat. You taught me a lesson on how to use the tape as a fan belt that you blew, and you saying with your red face and smile, let me see you and Tommy top this one. Knowing we all would kid about cars motors versus aircraft.
We all had fun and sad times; you left memories that will not be forgotten and thank for your time, knowledge and laughter.
Love Always,
Linda and Tommy Baker
