Walter Alves Nagel

Walter,
Thank you for the joy and peace you gave my mother and myself. We will always remember the dinner we had with you and your lovely daughter. We look forward to celebrating your life with your children and grandchildren later this week.
Rest in peace,
Peter Beck and Martha Oetzel

So sorry for your loss! - Megan & family

Walter was a true gentleman and a superb scientist. It was always a pleasure to work with him and capitalize on his vast knowledge of the physics behind logging tool measurements. That helped immensely in us finally finding ways to determine oil-in-place (OIP) at the Yates Field using log analysis.

Walter was a good friend, mentor, and colleague. We worked on many projects together. He was also an avid runner. One time we had a bet as to who could lose the most weight. It ended in a tie, although Walter admitted that he had sat in the steam room for an hour before coming to work and conceded the bet. I was fortunate to know and work with Walter.

I worked with Walter during my time at the research lab and he was always one of my favorite people - a true gentleman. I remember babysitting his kids at some point. Fond memories!
