Dear Mrs. Fletcher, Bruce & family, Cindy & family and Mark & family,

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your husband and father. I have such fond memories of him from many years ago when Cindy and I were such good friends and did so much together. My heart was also broken for you Cindy in the difficult time you've been though this past year with the passing of your husband. Mark and Teen please know you are also in my thoughts and prayers. I am glad to know that Bruce and his family are there with you Mrs. Fletcher and hope they and other dear friends can be of help and comfort for you in these difficult days that lay ahead.

With much love,

Mrs. Fletcher and family. I was sorry to hear of Walter's passing. May God bless you and may his memory be eternal. Walter was my patient for many years at the shipyard and also beyond his retirement. He was a good guy and would do anything in his power to accommodate me. He built a lot of my office book cabinets and computer desks that I've enjoyed for many years. They always reminded me of his kindness and craftsmanship. We'll miss him.
Fondly,
Chris Zambas

To Frances and family,
My condolences to your family on your loss. Walter was a good man. I worked with him for a few years at the shipyard and he was a great boss and an even better friend. I enjoyed being around him and his humor. He taught me many things. May God bless you all at this time.
