Wally was a wonderful friend and a great golfing companion.
Playing golf with Wally at Bay Beach Golf Club in Florida was always a pleasurable experience for our little group of winter transplants.
Angela and I send our deepest condolences to the Gross family. Bob Boss

Wally was my best friend's (Nancy Erdmann) uncle. My husband and I got to know Wally over the last decade or so as he volunteered for our organization (Lombardi Charitable Funds) the Vince Lombardi Golf Classic. Wally, as all of us who knew him, was never at a loss for words, or a good story! He could carry on a conversation like nobody's business! He will be greatly missed. We send our prayers and love to his family.

Dear Wally and family,

We extend our sympathy at the death of your father, Wally. At the same time we rejoice with you that he is now with his Savior and his physical suffering has ended. Yet, greater than that is to know that he is a sinner no more! That is the glory of heaven given to those who believe in Jesus and long to see him.

In Jesus's Love,
Harold and Lois
