Tom, Mary, Mike, Curt and Linda -
Would have loved to come today and given each one of you a big hug, but due to circumstances, decided to not attend the funeral, although you all are on our minds and thoughts, and in our prayers. You will be richly rewarded for your devotion and "going the extra mile" for your parents these past several years. Speaking from experience, we know it will certainly be a big change for you now as you adjust to a new lifestyle. God bless each of you!

It is with both sorrow and joy with the news of the passing of Uncle Walt. Sorrow that we will not get to walk in and see him in his office, but with joy that he entered into his eternal reward. He live a truly one of a kind life, being surrounded by loving family and cousins and having excellent health and outlook on life for over a century.
Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you, Mary Jean, Tom, Mike, Curt and Linda. Your example of living the 5th commandment "Honor thy Father and Mother" was obvious to all and each of you served as a model example of how families should love and care for one another.
Many of us are perplexed that due to circumstances beyond our control that we are strongly discouraged from being there in attendance for our farewell to a beloved family member, but Walt, Arlette and each of you are in our hearts and prayers today.
God Bless

What sticks out to me as I reflect on your fathers life is that he was a man of integrity! I think your father was a friend of everyone in Roanoke!! I saw him walking to and from work so many times in my childhood. He was always happy and whistling... in fact I remember we referred to him as Whistling Walt. You are a close family and your love and commitment to your parents has been a wonderful testimony to our community. Our prayers are with you. God bless!

Walt will be truly missed. My fondest memories are of the welding shop when I was growing up. We were always welcome for a warm handshake a good conversation. Our hearts and prayers are with his family during this time. Peace be with all of you.
