I called Walter Uncle Walt even though he was a second cousin, first cousin to my dad. Walter was the reason for me getting into sailing on the Barnegat Bay and eventually becoming a Commodore at Shore Acres Yacht Club. He was a great sailor and a champion. He will be missed and always be remembered.
