Walt was my neighbor for over 25 years and I've never known such a helpful, kind, generous and interesting man. He would help anyone do anything in the neighborhood and never asked for anything in return, a very rare quality these days. He'd see us struggling with mechanical issues on a car and Walt would come over and help. If we were building something, or cleaning up yard debris, Walt would walk over and offer assistance. I will truly miss him and his very cool stories about his service in the military. He was also a like a second dad or grandfather to my sons when their father passed away suddenly at a young age. An amazing man!
Godspeed Walt. You were one of a kind. My deepest condolences to the family.
Joni Smith and sons

Walk was my grandfather and taught me many values in life like how to fish how to build things and even swing a golf club from time to time but the most I got out of being his grandson was how to treat family and be a stand up guy. Walt was the type of man that would help anyone do anything , even if he did t know how to do it lol. He is and always will be dearly missed I. My heart. Love you grandpa
