It was always a pleasure to drop in and chat a bit with Walter when I worked next door at Boyle & Anderson. He, together with Jack McLane, was also instrumental in securing Grants for my church which have been very, very much appreciated. Walter was always a gentleman, kind and generous. The Foundations will miss his steady guidance.
