Brad! (and family)...I am sooo sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad (and Mom too). We moved back to MN in 2019 and I would love to catch up with you. My Mom just passed away on October 19th and Dad has been gone since 2017. I work at Roseville Lutheran Church Brad. Find me there please when you are ready! Hugs to you all.

Brad and the rest of Walt's Family,

I'm sorry to hear about your Dad. I was fortunate to be able to see you and him a while back.

Walt and many of the Capitol View men played various sports together in our younger days. In one particular
faculty/student touch football game, one of the boys,
was getting a little rough, so we didn't block him on one play and had Walt pull from his position on the other side of the line, it was quite a block on the young man. From then forward we referred to Walt as "the truck". Many great memories from those days.

I'm sorry I won't be there for the service, as I live in Florida now, but I will be there in spirit.

My deepest sympathies to the Johnson Family. I was unaware of Muriel's passing. So many Roseville (West Co. Rd C-2 and Virginia Ave.) memories. Playing basketball in the Johnson's driveway, playing in their camper trailer, and so much more. Prayers of peace and comfort to the family. Love, Patti
