Walt was a very good friend of mine for several years, and he was a very interesting person, great sense of humor, and very intelligent, as was his brother Bill. Was very glad to have know him.
Joann, and family. So sorry for your loss. This was very sad news, and my prayers are with you all. Jean Petty
Joann, and all the family. There is nothing I could say to ease your pain. Walt was a wonderful man. He welcomed all in his home with a friendly smile and always made everyone feel at ease. So many wonderful memories sitting around and talking and laughing… Walt has probably already caught up with his brother, and now they can get that fishing done they been talking about for awhile! So they are not alone…. He loved you all so much. And he knew how much he was loved by all of you…. Im so glad I got the chance to know Walt, he is one of those people we shall never forget…. “You, take care Walt. Until we all meet again….”
