He had many grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great -grandchildren. He was in the Ministry 64 years Pastoring in several Church of God churches and ministering in many more across the United States as well as in several European Countries. Everyone enjoyed his unique style of Preaching with his special abilities to weave the Gospel message into real life stories. He was also an avid fisherman and loved to be on the water from early in the morning till late in the evening. He will be greatly missed by all. We would like to thank everyone who has expressed their love and support for him as well as for us over the last several months. We especially want to express our appreciation to his wife Betty (his angel in disguise), as well as the entire staff of Seneca Long-Term Care in Chester, for their loving care and doting attention to his comfort during his final days. And we wish to thank the Lord for answered prayer in that his passing was a peaceful and painless transition from this life into His Eternal Reward. A celebration of Rev. Trumbo's life will take place Wednesday, May, 2nd, 2012 at the Westwood Assembly of God Church.

We had a Children's Ministry under Walt and Alvas ministry in Arlington, Tx. during the 1970's. In 1983 we visited them when they ministered in California, and In 1986 met them in Atlanta, Ga for 100th year Anniversary and General Assembly for the Church of God. We visited Walt and Alva in her last months at Centerton, Ark. We visited Walt and his precious wife Betty in Chester, Ca in 2011. So Blessed to know him.

Walt Trumbo led me to Christ in 1980 in tulare Ca. He was and still remains my favorite preacher. I have often referred to his sermons of which I still have on cassettes, in my own ministries. My favorite was " what to do when God doesn't send a miracle ".my music ministry began in his church that year. I had great respect and admiration for him.
