Just got the sad news today. Walt was a great friend of mine and of my family. He is now in the comfort of the Heavenly Father. Enjoy those rounds of golf with Dad and Rich Karam on the course made of gold.

Faithful, loving, supportive, cheerful are words I would use to describe Mr. Stricker. I aspire to be like him and to leave the world a little bit better than I found it, like he did. My sincere sympathy to his family and friends, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
