What a shock to find out of the passing of our great neighbor as growing up. Remember when the first inground pool was filled with water and the summer cookouts, with Walt and Janie and the all the kids. But the one that stands out alot is when Walt said "this is how real men eat hamburgers, and took a handful of raw hamburger and ate it." May the good lord be with all of your family during this time of mouring. Walt, Rest in Peace.

“God saw you getting weary,”
So he did what he thought best.
“He put his arms around you,”
And whispered come and rest.
Sleep well.
