I'm so Saddens at the passing of someone I knew and worked with in the 48" rolling mill, Yogi the Manipulator (lol) manipulators turned ingots for the Rollers so the ingots could be shaped in the beginning process of becoming a beam, I didn't want anybody thinking a Manipulator connived anyone (lol) Yogi would do anything for you as I said if he liked you, and me in the Crane when roll changes were due, he and I became very good friends when we were in the mill, he made me laugh SO much, his temperament was something to behold, if he liked you you became a friend for life, I took a buyout from the steel Company and moved to Hawaii that's when I lost contact with him (Yogi), I just can't get over the loss of a good guy, still young, but God has other plans for Yogi, you know the saying about the young passing on early, So I would like to pass on my Condolences to Yogis Wife & Children and his many Family and Friends.
Rest in Peace Big Guy from Pineapple

Dear Ellie and family
I remember Walter from when I was a child. He and my dad Skip Mantz were good friends back in the day. I would see Walter sometimes when I would go to Yoccos for lunch when I worked downtown. He always remembered me and asked about my dad. May your memories guide you through this difficult time.

Sorry for your family's loss. I knew Walter (he was my brother-in-law) in the late 60's, early 70's. May he Rest In Peace.

To the Baron Family
Walter was a heck of a guy. I worked at Yocco's in the late 60's and early 70's and remember Walter well. He would chip in and help if were really busy and never asked for anything in return. He has joined a lot of my Yocco's friends. Rest well Walter.
