To all of Walt's families, we offer our prayers and thoughts. We have many memories of Walt jogging by our apartment at the bottom of the hill on Fort Lee. He would always take time to stop and chat. Littie was a dear friend and we had fun at her jewelry parties. Those were the "good days". Walt was a good person and he will be remembered by many. Our condolences.

To the family of Mr. Ethington, I offer my condolences to you. I knew Mr. Ethington for several years while I lived across the street from your family on Old Wagner Rd. We took rides each weekend while discussing a lot of issues. He was a man of god and family. Please leave his departure in the hands of the lord and stay strong.
