I am greatly saddened to hear of Walt's passing. I've known him since junior high when we marched in the Howard Marching 100 through the TSU Aristocrat of Bands. All that time, he was always a kind, fun, and joyous person. When I saw him last, after marching together during TSU's 100th anniversary, we laughed about riding with me in my Pontiac Sunbird when I'd call to see if he wanted to take a ride back to Chattanooga and the sound my V-6 would make when we started passing trucks on Monteagle. He was a sweetheart. Sickness took him from this life, but God has given him a new body, free of sickness and filled with nothing but joy. Until we meet again on the other side!

My heartfelt prayers to his wife, daughter, and family. May good memories of Walt bring a smile through your tears and sustain you through this difficult time. God bless you.
