Bill Walter is one of the most comical friends I ever had. He could look at a bowl of simple speckled butterbeans and create a stand up comedy routine rivaling any Saturday Night Live skit. And, in the next moments, he could take the vegetable and produce a breathtaking work of unrivaled art. His devotion to his family remains a standard the whole world needs. Adios my friend & I will be excited to see your creativity on display when we meet again.
