Dear Family,
Your father and grandfather, Wally, was such a wonderful man. As a volunteer, I had the honor of working with him every Friday morning at Hospice. Over the months I came to know and admdire him. Wally never complained and was so concerned about others. Please know that everyone I saw who came into his room had a smile, kind word or some gentle teasing to dish out because Wally was so well-liked. My thoughts are with you.
Sincerely,
Cathy A.

Dear Karen, Brian, Lauren and Erin,
I'm so sorry about your loss. Wally was a wonderful father, grandfather and friend. He had a wonderful sense of humor and always a twinkle in his eyes and smile on his face. He lit up a room! I remember vividly how he enjoyed watching Karen play softball ... he cheered us on during the bad and good times! Always supporting us! He will truly be missed. A generous man with a huge heart! Thinking about you! Love you, Laura
