Mr. Walter you will be greatly missed. I will miss our morning talks. I'm going to miss hearing you say "You drive safe you here"when I leave the lot. Napa just won't be the same without your smiling face. You were a real one and you never put in a show. Rest on Mr. Walter. I'm going to miss saying "Anyday above ground is a good day to you
