I am so sorry to hear about Waldy. He will be missed. There are so many fun memories of working with him at Apria. He was the one and only "Waldy".

Kim, I just heard about Waldy. I am very sorry about your loss and see that you know by your entry that the important thing is that he is no longer suffering and that is so good to know. I have very good memories of the people at Apria and the fun we had as a team. I will remember John laughing in his blue scrubs in the pharmacy.
My prayers are with you and your family-Jeri - Apria co-worker

We are very sorry to hear of the loss of a special person. I will always remember the fun times we had while at our grandparents’ house in Windber PA, those memories will be with me always.
Kim – No words can express the heaviness you have to bear, but just know that John isn’t suffering anymore and he is at peace and in pain no more. As the days go by and you return to your daily routines take comfort in the love of family and friends, and may your heart soon be filled with wonderful memories of all the joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
Aunt Joann, Uncle John, Matthew and Christine - My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve. Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.
We are sorry we couldn't be there with you but know we are thinking about you and all of you are in our prayers
