Walter was a big man with a heart just as big. His outgoing love for his fellow man touched everyone that knew him. I personally miss how he would come to me, telling me what he could do to make anything better. Your watch here is over but know you still continue to watch over us all keeping you in our hearts as we follow the God's will.

Walter you will be greatly missed. I remember when we were kids it was you, Samantha, Leo, Steve and I. We'd have the run of the night. You let me drive your huge car with the broken seat sitting on a phone book. I have great memories of us all and as we mourn your passing we all I speak for us all I know when I say you're kids will be great. Thanks for the memories and your service.

My deepest condolences to Walter's family and friends. When I was young and my family moved to a new neighborhood (Quail Run), Walter was the first person to come to my house and introduce himself. He was my first friend in that neighborhood and was the nicest person. I have never forgotten how kind and genuine he was. He will be missed.
