Marge and the Butkus family, deeply sadden by Walt's passing. I remember many good times with the two of you. I will always remember his warm smile and love for you, his family and friends. Walt was a joy to know, I always felt glad when we were near him. I only wish we would have had the chance to meet up. You are lovingly in our thoughts and prayers, message me if I can do anything for you. I am sure heaven is a little better with Walt's polkas playing!

I was shocked and saddened to see this notice of Walt's passing. He was such a gentle soul. He was also such a strong union supporter and that's where our paths intersected. When he retired he always made a point to keep in touch with me and my family. Marge, Jason and family I'm so sorry for your loss. Your loss is also our loss. He was one of a kind.
