I enjoyed seeing Walter. He always had a twinkle in his eye like he was about to let you in on a joke he knew. "Homer" will miss seeing him, too.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family. Walter was an amazing man, that always had a story to tell and a smile on his face. I remember seeing him weekly when I worked at the bank.
