I am sorry to hear about Walt. Although I have not seen or talk to Walt in 40yrs (Worked with Walt @ Chrysler). But, I still remember him as being a very unselfish person. I remember Walt as being a person that anyone would have wanted to know. May GOD bless Walt and his family.

I was very fortunate to meet Walt at Sunset Landing by chance and joined Walt and Ray McDonald for a round of golf. Little did I know at the time that a strong friendship was beginning. Walt was a tremendous person and made everyone feel better just being in his presence. I will miss Walt but will always carry his memory with me.

Although I didn't know Walter Bishop very well, his daughter Sharron is a wonderful person and a tribute to her wonderful parents. I know he will be missed very much by all of you. My thoughts are with you as you learn to go on without him.
