Walter was a nice guy, I remember seeing him at the Quincy Adams Home Depot which is where he worked. He would always be helpful to many customers that would always shop at the store and always had a friendly attitude towards them. Quincy Adams Home Depot will never be the same without him.

Dear Maureen and family,
I was very sad to hear of Walter's passing. Walter was a very special friend here at the Fed. I met him years ago when he was a member of the Protection Department. I transferred from the midnight shift and he made me feel welcome. I always remember his funny stories and OMG that laugh, I can still hear it in my head and smile. I will miss my friend. God bless you and your family at this time of your loss.
