Thoughts and prayers to Walter's family and friends.
Worked with his mother for many years and she and the entire family were always so kind to me. The family was part of the Bigler family so to speak of which I have many memories growing up. When we were at a gathering where there was dancing and they played Wipe Out you would look for Walter to take the center stage as he had a reputation for this being his dance. Take care and God be with all of you.
Love, Suzette (Morris) Heichel
