Cousin Walter was more than eight years older than us and we didn't get to see him very often.
But because he was a soldier and in the war my younger sister Judy and I have always considered him a "hero". Our sincerest sympathy to the family.

Dwayne,
While I didn't know your father, I remember you from grade school. I wanted to send my condolences to you and your family because I just lost my father 4/30 and know the pain you must be feeling. Take care. Brett
