To me Uncle Wally was one of the sweetest, kindest and gentlest persons I've ever known, as was his dear mother, my Grandma Mandy. I enjoyed listening to Uncle Wally's wonderful stories which were always infused with generous doses of humor. Rest in peace, Uncle Wally, and Sherri my thoughts are with you on the loss of your dear father.

Semper Fidelis Uncle Wally

I always felt that Uncle Wally was someone I wanted to be like as I was growing up. Funny and always able to put you at ease, he was sweet and loving and lived life to the fullest. We will miss him dearly! I feel so lucky to have known him.

Wally was a very dear and wonderful friend whom I talked to almost every day. I will always cherish his friendship and witty humor. My memories of him shall linger on and he will always have a special place in my heart. He will be missed and loved by me forevermore.
