I extend my sincere condolence to Wally's family. Wally was a dear friend. During his life he enriched the lives of so many others with memorable acts of compassion, kindness and encouragement. God called a good man home, but God left an active and alive part of Wally to stay with us -and that is Wally's immortal spirit of goodness. With that legacy, Wally will never be forgotten by those fortunate enough to have known him. Wally is at peace.
