Dorrice and Family: I am so sorry about your loss! Walt was a one of a kind. I have many wonderful memories of our times together. I just got word about a loss of a friend today and came across Walt's obituary. My thoughts and prayers are with you all! Pamela & Michael Cramer

My deepest condolences on Walt's passing. I have many memories of him working in the oil field with my Dad, Jim Doyle. There were many stories of their exploits as he "learned the ropes". Dad thought the world of Walt and they worked together under several company names until Dad passed away.
Sending thoughts and prayers for strength and comfort to Dorrice during this difficult time.
