Sandy, Rick and family,
It is with fond memories that we remember both your parents. Uncle Walt always brought encouragement and laughs as we traveled down the rocky road of our career paths. He was one we all wanted to be around!
Love Always,
Bill & JoAnn Kline

Dear Pappy, I am glad that you and Gram are together again! I know that you are happier with each other! We will miss your smiling face and silly jokes, from the watermelon to the Falling Rock! Love always, your Sunshine

I only have fond memories of your father - our Uncle Walt. Another of the extended family of friends that we knew and loved. I'm sure he's with your mother and that United Engineering crew, they were all such great people. One of my most treasured pictures is of your dad, my dad (Fats), and Charlie Blazer sitting on the safa at the house - all with those big grins!!!
Your dad was very special to us all.
