Was stationed with Walter at Truax in early 60's.
Quite a guy.

It is a great deal of sadness to hear that Walt has passes away. I've known Walt for more than 40 years, being the architect for the Kruchtens at Waunakee Manor. I missed meeting Walt in the lobby for him to smile and touch my stomach with a pointed finger telling me that I need to reduce. My condolences to his entire family. His comfort has been long overdue. Ed Solner

When I use to entertain at the Manor, Walter would assist me in setup of my accordion & amplifier. He truly enjoyed the old time music and I always dedicated a song to him. He was a joy to be around and I will always remember his huge smile. He will truly be missed.
May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
