A great guy and a great friend. I think back to all those evening tricks with Walt, Andrea and Kathy running in those toll circuits while we were running in the local service orders and trying to stay out of each others way. You will surely be missed by many.

I can´t believe it, my buddy Walter. From my start at SNET, you were always someone who gave me a calm word of advice and just a great friend. I will never ever forget how much you meant to me.

Walter and I were High School friends, We played football together and during that time we became the best of friends with that continuing until the day he passed. We went to Woodstock, the Jersey Shore, the Cape and endless trips to Port Chester. Most recently our get togethers at the Colony will remain a fond memory in our long friendship. Walt- I will miss you! Paul Guzda
