I really appreciate everything Walt has done for me the last 15 years, and especially what he has done for my mom Kathy. A friendship like they shared is rare in life, and I am thankful that they found it in each other. Walt was a stand up guy, and well loved for good reason. He will be missed dearly.

Walter, you were one of the kindest people we ever knew. You were always willing to help in any way you could, especially when we were working in the other house. I don't know how we could have done it without you. You would always say to me.... Remember, we are family. I always thought of you as family too. I know the Lord was waiting for you when you arrived yesterday morning. He knew your work was done on earth. We will love you and miss you always.
