Roberta and the rest of the family. I am so sorry to hear about Walt passing at such an early age. He was a good friend and old neighbor that I could always count on. Will always remember him sitting in one of his barber chairs and looking through the latest Shotgun News. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. We are living in Florida full time, but are with you all in spirit. God has a great new resident.
