I think of Walt often. His daughter Jayne lives next to my daughter and she would tell me how he was doing. I worked in his department and my desk was outside his office. He was a very kind and very calm man and funny too. He loved his children and would talk about them often. I wish I could have seen him again. God Bless You!

I worked for Walt for about 10 years at the beginning of my career at PPL. Walt was a great boss, teacher and mentor and I will always be thankful for his guidance. Walt, you will never be forgotten.

I have thought of you many times over the years....Although our paths did not cross again since I was young, you never stopped being my Uncle Walt. Rest In Eternal Peace....
