Walter was one of my favorite cousins. Our mothers had several siblings living within 100 mile radius. We got together often and were close to our cousins. Walter loved Spike Jones and had all of his records. We spent hour after hour listening to them and laughing at Spike Jones’ antics and “beetle bomb.” I shall miss him terribly.

Dear Family and Friends: To Kathy, Paul and Todd

May we say that your Dad will be missed a great deal. When we heard of his passing, we shed tears for all – but also remembered how sweet Uncle Walt was during our lives.

God bless everyone and Walt.
