My thoughts and prayers go out to Wally's family during this time of loss. I worked at Univac/Unisys when Wally did. We were at different plants but I played touchfool ball with him for many years. We won many championships. He was always so much fun to be around. We lost track of each other when the games stopped and job changed.
