Wally was with me all night at the hospital when our son was born in St Louis. He arrived with a Scotch and Water for me. What a night and what a good friend, we laughed about it for years.

He was the kindest man I have known. His love of his students at Parkway West will be remembered for a very long time. We are so sorry to hear about his passing.
