To Bev and the entire Thurner family,
We have all lost a very special person! He was the definition of a true gentleman and friend. It was a pleasure to be around him, he always went with the flow. Never heard Walt say a bad word about anyone, or anyone ever say a bad word about Walt. He was so very proud of his entire family. He will certainly be missed.
With sincere sympathy,

I was sorry and saddened to hear of Walt's passing. He was a true gentleman. He was always a pleasure to be around. He made everyone feel like he was their friend. I know I felt that way. I witnessed the very close relationship Walt and Kieth had and I am sure he had that same relationship with all of his family. Kieth and all of Walt's family will be in my thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.
