Walter , we did a first together with the vocational school . I feel it was a great time in our lives .
I remember eating lunch and your mother would make you salami sandwiches one day a week and you didn't like them so we traded lunch , It worked out for both of us .
Now that you have gone to Glory , I pray for peace for you and your family .
