Condolences to all of the family. Wally was a good friend for many years and he will be missed. Jack and I remember times before we were married when your mom, dad, Jack and I would go out on Friday or Saturday night . We had so much fun together. Later we had your dad and mom over for chili during the Christmas season. After your mom passed away, we met Kris and enjoyed chili times with her and your dad.
We are not in town at this sad time for all of you but are thinking of you.
Sincerely,
Jack and Bev Pfister

Sue and family,
Our sympathy and prayers for all of you. We knew Wally through Boy Scouts and have very fond memories of Troop 140 and the Middleton Good Neighbor Festival. Since we now live in Texas, we are unable to attend services. Our thoughts will be with you.

Wally Was My Neighbor During My Younger Years. Jody & I Would Sleep In The Back On His Car (Pretending We Were Camping-Lol) My Parents Would Always Say What Great Neighbors/Friends The Weber's Are:) Tina & Wally & My Mother Are ALL Together Again. I Find Comfort In That. My Deepest Condolences To The Family & Friends Of Wally.
