I had the pleasure of working with Wally at Home Depot. I miss his wit, humor, stories and presence every day! With sympathy.
Good bye Walt.
Maybe we will see each other again and you can finally beat me at a game of pool.
Hope to see you again someday..

Wally lived next door to me and a nicer neighbor you wouldn’t find. He was always friendly, polite and helpful. I will miss him.
