Dear Megan, Oscar, Harvey and family,
I worked closely with Walter, I work at Perform Group LLC in the Facility Maintenance dept. It's only been a day in a half and I feel lost without him here. I am waiting for him to barge in my office and scare me. He was a hardworking, caring, friendly, a great person in general kind of person. He spoke highly of Megan and his boys. And of course his motorcycles!
Please accept my deepest condolences. God must have a huge plan for him, to take him at such a young age. May God Bless and watch over all of you.
May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together, as you celebrate a life well lived. He will live on in our hearts forever.
Rest in Peace Walt.

Dear Family and Friends of Walt,
It is with my deepest sympathy that I write this, to each of you. I can't say that I know exactly the heartache you're going through now, but I can say I have thought about it consistently throughout the last day and a half. I worked with Walt at Perform Group, seen him every day Monday through Friday. He was such a super nice guy, reliable, accountable, humble and kind. My heart pours out for his wife and sons. Something we tell our children is that Mommy and Daddy will always be here for you, and yet in the starkest reality we know we can't keep that promise. Our Father in Heaven has a bigger plan that none of us can completely know or completely understand because of the human desires and emotions that are on a whole different plain. I will keep all of you in my prayers. I miss Walt's face, his presence is sorely missed, to say the very least. God bless and keep you all.
