Sandy, so sorry to hear that Walter passed away. My best memory was of Walters dancing skill also. It seems as though that is what most of the nieces and nephews remember best. What a compliment to him. It seems like that wonderful gene of dancing missed our family ( Ralph's kids) as not a one of us can dance. Another reason why I was so impressed .
As Jerry and I moved to Florida full time 4 years ago we will not be able to attend the service.

I'm sorry to hear of Walt's passing. I remember him through my mom, Torchie. He loved to dance at the Eagles with the crowd. May he rest peacefully.

Walter was a great dancer. I enjoyed the years at the Maumee river with him. Wonderful uncle and godfather. Lord take care of him in heaven. Let him his family dance in heaven.

Sandy and family,
Gary and I will forever keep fond memories of family gatherings where Walt was the life of the party, from dancing to euchre, to reminiscing and listening to his hilarious stories. Our deepest sympathies and love to you all.
