Bob Walter was a very dear friend. We knew him ever since he married Dorothy, who was a friend of mine since grade school. We are glad that we had the opportunity to have known him as a loyal friend that he was. He will be remembered and missed by us.

Gloria and I knew Bob and Dorothy from the days that I was employed by the Internal Revenue Service in the early 1960’s. We also had a nice visit with them once in Florida. May God forever bless and cherish his good and faithful servants, Bob and Dorothy.
