I had the honor to hunt with Walt over the last 7 years. He was always nice to me and a fun guy to talk with. He was also a dear friend to my various family members from the 1950's until his death. He was very proud to be a Marine and loved our Country... Rest in Peace my friend.

I meet Walter while working at PVWC and became good friends from there. I guess it’s been 45 yrs and it was certainly a positive friendship.
I could go on and on but one of the great things about Walter was his generosity to all. He will be dearly missed by my wife and myself.
Rest In Peace my friend and not only will you be with Mary but your hunting buddies will keep occupied.

Hey Ted, it is Ray's son Terry. I spoke with Wally on the phone just three days before he left us. He did not sound well but he told my wife and I that he was anxious to be going home from the hospital and that he would have someone help him there.

I prayed for him and I guess the Lord decided it was his time. It has been a rough year for all of us. My wife and I would love to hear from you. My cel is 856 297.3639.

I had the pleasure of being in Walter's company via the Thunder View Hunting Club. That outer shell of a man had heart of gold and kindness. He mad me and my family very welcome whenever we were together and I will cherish those times.
Rest in peace my friend and may the perpetual light shine upon you.
