JoAnn and family, so sorry to hear about Walter’s death. He was a very devoted son to your mom and brother to you. I feel very fortunate to have been able to get to know him during my visits to your mom. I will keep all of you and your family in my prayers and plan to attend his service in July.

To all the friends and Family I wanted to say how sad I have been since I heard of Walter’s death. He was a great cousin and a wonderful man. He will be missed by us all. I’ll see you on the other side Wally. Love You!!
Linda Boes-Best says
Walter was a great companion during my growing up years. He taught me how to play cribbage and we both enjoyed our many conversations. I looked up to him more as a brother than a cousin. We will all miss Wally and his quiet presence. Peace, Linda

I knew Wally very little. I was so much younger than him and was only around him a little when I was just a kid. He made me get off a toy car to let the other kids play on the car when I was five! That’s about the only memory I have of him from then. I did see him when I went to a family reunion the summer of 2012 and talked to him a little then. I was lucky and blessed to see him then.
