Nan, Thinking of you. As you travel down the road of life, may you remember the fond memories and look forward to what the future has to bring. Walter achieved so much in his life and sad for us that it was his time to go. I am proud to call him my cousin. I do hope you will find peace in the days to come. Thinking of you and sending my love.

Nan, as you know, Walter was incredible with the most creative mind and generous heart. His love of life and adventure enriched us all.

It was a real pleasure to work, travel, and spend leisure time with Walter as we did for many years at Owens Corning meetings and customer events. A few memorable events include the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway; customer appreciation events at Pebble Beach/Carmel/Casanova's; Bermuda, and The Masters. We also enjoyed business development ventures in Falkenberg, Sweden; Brussels, Belgium; Berlin, Germany; Capetown, South Africa; and Gaborone, Botswana.

Never forget the laughs and fun we had with Walter enjoying fine red wines while planning the next "big event" over dinner.
He was my colleague and truly a special dear friend. Nan, you were the center of his Universe.

Rest In Peace, Walter.

There are no words to express the sadness we feel upon the loss of Walter. To us, he WAS Manning Cove and we will miss seeing him on our beautiful cove that he loved so much. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

I was so shocked and sadden to hear of Walter's passing. My heart goes out to Nan and all of Walter's family. Walter was always patient, respectful, generous, and, of course, so very creative. I enjoyed working with him and Nan and his wonderful company, the Creative Advantage.

Nan
Words can´t express how saddened we are to learn of
Walter´s passing. He was one-of-a-kind and we were so lucky to know him as a colleague and especially as a dear friend. Walter was a renaissance man, incomparable in so many ways. As a clear success in business, he was a multi-talented entrepreneur and an admirable leader. The long-term team members at CA are testimony to the work environment and career opportunities he created for so many - and how well he treated everyone. His dedication to customer satisfaction was legendary, without equal - again demonstrated by decades-long client relationships. No one I´ve known was so reliable and quality focused. Most of all, Walter was just a remarkable person. We all recognize his love and devotion to you, Nan. The world has truly lost someone special. Rest In Peace Walter.

We have lost such a wonderful guy. Walter was such a great help to all of us at GE Plastics for decades. His creativity, commitment and friendship to our Team was extraordinary. He always found a way to make things happen irrespective of the challenges and short timeline we gave him. He made us look good, enabling us to communicate our vision and key messages in a clear and simple way! My best to his family and warm sympathy on Walter´s passing. A great man who lived life to the fullest!

Nan-I am was so shocked to hear of Walt´s passing. It just doesn´t seem possible. Walter invited me to several functions he hosted on Saratoga Lake & also Christmas parties at CA. And of course I always had something else to do or the weather was bad, etc and I never made it. Of course, I remember you two as we were when you lived in Hop City Rd or when we went to Watkins Glen or even when we would party at The Rafter´s.
Walt was a gentle, giving, intelligent soul & the world will miss him. Take care of yourself Nan. I know this will be a particularly difficult time for you. ((HUGS))

Words can't express my sorrow. Walter gave me my first shot in marketing communications, and provided me an amazing career with the Creative Advantage for over 31 years. There are too many stories to be told - he attended my wedding and watched my children grow up. He treated all who worked for him as family. Thank you Walter for you generosity, creativity, leadership and most importantly... your friendship. Nan - his love for you was inspiring, my heartfelt sympathies for you in this loss. Please take comfort in knowing his unending love will always be with you in everything you do...

Nanny. So sorry to hear of Walters passing. I know you two were so happy together the wedding picture you posted on your anniversary every year always made me smile. You both were so young and beautiful and full of promise. His obituary is wonderfully written a nice tribute to him. Again I'm so sorry. Love you. Dee.

Hi Nan. What a shock and a tragedy. 'Mayor' Walter was a terrific person. Soft spoken, unassumming yet a 'stand up guy'... Karen and I are in Florida and wish we could be there to comfort you at this time. Our deepest sympathy.
