To Walters family
My thoughts are with you all. I babysat for the children when I was a senior in highschool. I have always remembered the apartment on Jackson street. A different kind of senior now - I certainly can relate to your loss. He will be missed.

Michelle, Pam, Susan, Walt, Ms. Mae,
My sympathies and prayers for comfort to each of you. It's hard to have our loved ones pass on to Heaven, but also we find comfort to know they are in a better place.
Our family will always cherish the friendship, fun times and love expressed to one another. Wrapping arms around all of you.

So very saddened by Walters passing. We are grateful to have met Walter and his family at Cedarbrook through the pairing of my dad and Walter as roommates. Their journey through Illness was difficult, but getting to know other families like yours was so helpful and such a blessing to us. How fitting that the two fellas passed within 24 hours of each other, so they can now share a new journey to a much better place, where they are once again free of confusion and free to walk and talk again. Blessings and comfort to Walters family. May he be at peace.

Mae, Sue, Pam, Walter, Shelly and to the entire Pumm family,
I know I speak for all of my sisters as well, on how deeply we were saddened to hear of Walt's passing. The memories we hold of the many years of friendship, laughter, and closeness of neighbors that two families could have are within all of us. We may be separated by miles on a map, yet we are right next to each other in our hearts. May your memories bring you peace and the closeness of family bring you comfort these difficult days. May God Bless you and hold you.
Again, our deepest condolences,
Bill Peltz
