I am submitting additional praise for my very close friend Wally Gaus. I was scheduled to attend his funeral yesterday at 11 am. My transportation arrived late so
I missed the ceremony. My apologies to the
family. They have been very nice to me. I could write a book about Wally. He treated
everyone right. I saw him leave generous tips to waiters. He was very intelligent but he had no arrogance. He took time to
talk to my wife even though he was suffering from his terminal. He also sent
Jackie and I a nice wedding gift (We had been married a few months). I say farewell
dear friend.
