Wally and I started our friendship watching our daughter's play basketball on the same team. Our daughter's played complimentary ball and so went our friendship. Over time we created a bond of fellowship that tied us together. I am grateful for our time together although it was too short. Wally, you shined a light in my life I will always carry with me. Thanks for the memories.
