How do you goodbye to a man who had so much influence on your life? He took a young man who lost his father and showed him the life lessons he would need to become a man. He was there for a child not his own and treated him like a son. My childhood would not have been the same, and I would not be the man I am today. To say he was my hero doesn´t do Wally justice. I will be forever grateful for God putting Wally in my life. He is already, truly missed by the many people, through all the lives he touched. Rest in Peace Wally. Thank you for everything you did for me. I love you Pops!

I would like to share a story of Wally's kindness and generosity toward our family. Our dad died at age 54 from cancer. My mom had 4 children still at home, when we started having problems in our kitchen and bathroom. Wally took time out of his busy schedule to help lighten the load that my mom was facing with these repairs. Wally also took my brother Patrick under his wing and taught him about cars and fixing things. To this day, I still remember his kindness toward our family and as you get older you learn to appreciate these acts of kindness even more. A good man can do many good deeds in his lifetime that no one ever knows about, but I hope that sharing this story helps to bring your family a small amount of comfort in knowing that other are thinking and praying for you and your family during this difficult time. Wally didn't have to help us, but he did. That is a mark of a good man. Our family would like to express how sorry we are for your loss.

Wally worked for us for many years. He was a talented body man, cook, baker, artist, and friend. We even installed a kitchen in his honor.
He was a kind hearted man and a great son. We thank you for all the memories, laughs, hard work , and friendship. Rest in Peace. Our Thoughts and Prayers are with his family.
