Mrs. Waltz, Amy, Laurie and Bob, I was very saddened to hear that Mr. Waltz had passed on. I have many fond memories of visiting with Mr. and Mrs. Waltz at the house on Baldwin Street, sitting out on the side porch, in the sitting room or outside at the Memorial Day parade. You both always made me feel comfortable and welcome. I know that he will be greatly missed by many but the Bible tells us that he is in a better place now. "That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life." John 3:15 My thoughts and prayers are with you. Love, Kim

To the Waltz family:
You all have my deepset sympathy for the loss of such a kind man. He always gave me a smile regardless of what I worked on with him at Smithers. Even after his retirement I enjoyed talking with him when he would come to Smithers for consultations. He will be greatly missed by all of those who knew and loved him.

I had the pleasure of working with Bob on green house and grower projects at smithers but mostly I enjoyed talking to him about sailing. I think of those conversations often.

I was a year behind Bob at Hudson High School - Fond memories of those good years in that small school remain; we all knew and cared for one another. If it is any consolation "No one has ever been born or has ever died save in the Passionate Embrace of God's Love.

I will always remember Bob for his kindness. I joined the Smithers-Oasis family in 1990 and Bob was very quick to make me feel part of the Company. His smile and humor always made me feel at ease. He is a good man and will be missed.
