Hi Dad,

My deepest sympathy to the Wall family. I was a scrub nurse at St. Al's in Port Washington for 15 years. I always enjoyed working with Dr. Wall. I can't even explain what a wonderful doctor and kind man he was. I always wished I had a father like him.

Dear Wall Family,
Please accept my deepest sympathy. Your Father was a class act and made a lasting impression on me. Always said hello in the halls of St. Alphonsus. Loved by all!

My Dad ~
He taught me horses, humility and humor, and was always in my corner.
A patient teacher, he had a kind, supportive word for anyone.
A healer by trade, a farmer by nature, he let the horses have a hand in teaching his children.
Riding was about a partnership and "winning" wasn't about the ribbon.
His wit and his wisdom is missed. Love Always, Kim

Dear Kim and family,I'm so sorry to hear about your dad's passing. Although I knew him from afar, every meeting with him was so pleasant. It is easy to see what great kids he and your mom raised.
Most sincerely,

My sympathy to your entire family. I worked in his office for 9 yrs. I've told many people over the years it was the best work situation I had. He was a great man & related so well to both his patients & their families.
