Walter My Financial Brother. Oh! I am so devastated to hear this. My heart really aches of this. He was more than a meticulous financial expert, he became a wonderful friend. Peaceful guy, mild mannered, always a pleasure entering his office, and talking to him on the phone. I felt like that he taught me a course in finance. What a Charm of a person. Definitely an icon. You are missed my brother.
