Dad I am just having a really bad day today and just need to write something. I miss you so much and wish you were still here. I know you are in a better place but it still doesn't make it any easier. I just hope you did not suffer on your last days. I go over and over everything that transpired in the 9 weeks that you were in the hospital and Hospice. It tears me apart to just remember how you were in that bed breathing your last breaths. I also remember that good week you had when you could actually watch TV and tell me that you loved me and held my hand. I am just missing you so much today and wish I had one more minute with you.

Mark,
I'm so sorry to hear about your parents. Your mom and dad were amazing people-always there for anything needed at the firehall even when they weren't feeling up to it. I remember all those nights of Bingo with my grandmother and your mom when I was little; working along side your dad when we were older. No matter what there was always a smile on their faces and laughter in the air. Just know that they are both at peace now and together. God bless...

Our sincere sympathy to the family of Helen and Walter.

While we did not have the honor of knowing them as personally as many others did, we knew them through community, other family members and the Lancaster VFW Post #7275.

May the family be comforted to know how many people will miss them.

I am so sorry for the loss of both of your parents. Your dad was such a hard worker. No matter what time of day he was outside taking care of something. He never stopped, I hope they both are in a happier place. Jen Babula

One of my favorite memories of Uncle Wally is watching him walk with baby Mark (who was having a tough hour of fussing) and how comfortable and patient he was with it after years of practice with all you older kids.

Dearest Brother Wally" I am so sad now that you are have passed on to the heavenly place with the Lord. They are writing great things about you. I am sure you did a great job at the Fire house too. I will always remember the day at a reunion that you showed me around at your new Fire house. Sorry you had to be the first to go from our "bunch". See you this evening!

My heart feels for you at the lost of your dad. I didn't get to spend much time w/him he seemed to be had at work or in the garage. I know he loved his family very much. I pray that each of you will have comfort in his grace and glory and peace knowing that he no longer has to work so hard, or suffer any pain or sorrow. Love Cheryl (Stanley) Hull

To Walt's Family,

I had the great pleasure of knowing and working with your father for many years at Cable Guide Railing Co., Inc. He was one of the most dedicated employees that the company ever had.

We had many good conversations and they always included his family. He was a very proud father and grandfather.

He told me so many wonderful stories about his interest in airplanes and the fire company.

He was truly one of the greatest men I have ever known. It was an honor to have known Walt, Helene, his brothers and some of his children. He will be missed by all.

Dad I am so glad that I was with you when you passed away. I did not want you to be alone. Now you are with mom and Jesus. You were a great dad and so thankful for all of the sacrifices you made for all of us kids. You worked hard for everything and I appreciate that. I miss you very much and Love You.
