Walter was a unique person. He will be sadly missed by all, but never forgotten. he is now in a better place and no longer suffering, and will now watch down on the rest of us. He was loved by many.
God Bless Walter, and rest in peace.

Walter was an individual whose character was quite unique and unforgettable. He enjoyed his life and loved seeing his friends. He was a comedian in his own way. Walter has gone to join loved ones who passed on before him. The memories of the “days of Walter,” however, will live on in the hearts of many. Smiles will emerge on faces when reminiscing of the times he spent in our company. He may be gone, but not forgotten.

Walter will be greatly missed. He was quite the character, but we wouldn't have him any other way. Myself, the other staff members and customers at Jak's diner were always entertained by his many out of this world stories. We love and miss him very much and his family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Walter was a fun loving guy. We had many good times at the Mertztown Gun Club with both Walter and his wife. Sympathy to all the family who lost this special man.....

I am deeply sorry for your loss. I knew Walter from working at the Topton home. When he used to deliver meals on wheels. He really enjoyed that.
