I am writing this as a tribute to our dearly loved "Walt" We knew him as an exuberant young boy & as a best friend to our son, Gary, & to our daughter, Claudia.
I remember so well when he was involved in the accident that changed his life. We were all amazed how he adjusted to the traumatic results.
Our son Gary & Walt were best friends. When Mary met Walter, she gathered him under her protective wings & felt the love for Walt we shared within our family. When Gary & Mary were married, Walt was the Best Man.
Walt has been an inspiration to Don & I, Gary & Mary, Claudia, & to our Grandchildren, Christian, Brett,Traci, Kohl, & Sean.
It is with great sadness that we say goodbye, Walt. We find comfort in knowing you are in good hands.
We send our deepest sympathy to your family.
You will always be in our hearts.

Waltie, you will be deeply missed by your family and friends. I know my mother (your Grandma Keith) Was there to greet you into heaven with open arms. I am sure that is a very joyous and happy time for you. I am not going to say good-bye because I know that I will see you again. May god be with you and bless you.
Our Love,

My love & prayers to Waltie's parents & siblings. Our hearts & souls are mourning this loss of one of our own along with you. I remember the young ...little boy. Beautiful big brown eyes! Wanted to operate BIG machinery.. I remember he was facinated with the big refuse trucks. Thinking he would like to operate one of those...I pray that God's comforting Spirit touches each of you with Loving & beautiful memories of Waltie.

My favorite memory of Waltie; he was working at Mt. Rainer. He had to wear a smoky bear hat...could see his beautiful brown eyes, that twinkled, peaking out below the brim. Sooo cute! He was kind and gentle and worked hard to take care of himself. Loved his strength. You raised a wonderful son. He will be missed. God be with you.
Love your guts! Aunt Barb, Uncle Ed and Madee.

We are proud to say Waltie was part of our family. He was such fun when he was growing up and we could be spend time with him fishing. He was so proud of that "little" fish! We cannot even start to express our sorrow!

Walt was a great man. Have not seen him in years but I truly wish I would have kept in touch.
