Still thinking of you Walt. I am sure all your former mates from Whiteman remember you also. Rest in peace. See you on the other side.

I worked with Walt for many years at United Telecom in Westwood and then at Gardner when our Company changed to Sprint. I agree with Christy Watson on Walt's antagonistic ways. He liked to tease me also as I'm sure he did others. I remember Walt for his love of his dogs as much as anything. I'm sure he has left some behind that loved him dearly.

My Sincere Sympathy to all his family.

Walt and I go back many years! He always like to antagonize me, but I figured that was because we were friends. He loved peppernuts. I made them every Christmas and if I didn't bring him some, he would ask me where they were! A dear friend I didn't keep in contact with! I will always have good memories of Walt!
