Dear Mrs. Walter and family,

I am deeply saddened to hear about Dr. Walter's passing. My condolences to you. He was a very kind and honorable man. I heard about him for most of my years growing up as my father, Dr. Alexander Mark was lucky enough to have him as a boss and mentor. Many of his words of wisdom were also echoed to me and I cherish them. My father often speaks fondly of him.

He also meant a great deal to me as I was nervous when taking my medicine board exams and happened to notice that he was one of my proctors! I knew after seeing him there I had a sense of comfort and knew that everything would be ok.

My family and I will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

I was so sorry to hear of the passing of this great man. My family has always held such love and gratitude for Kenny. He allowed us 12 more years with our own father and his uncle, Bob Bregenzer, because of his own love of family and great medical expertise. Kenny was truly a selfless man and the world will forever be a better place because of him.

We are so sad to hear of the passing of Uncle Ken. Pam has such wonderful memories of him as a child. Myself, just joining this family a little over 7 years ago, I can truly say it was a pleasure to have known this fine man. I looked forward to seeing him when Jack and I stopped in St. Louis on our way to Arizona. I especially liked his sense of humor. He will be missed. Our thoughts, prayers, and love are with you Aunt Nattie and all of the family.
Most Sincerely,

Ken was a noble colleague and a early pioneer of invasive cardiology. A friend to be counted on.
