    My memories of Uncle Walter will be that he had such a bubbly friendliness about him. He always spoke warmly of family, attended every function, was a delight to talk to because of his enthusiasm and constant smile, and was always a "dapper dresser". As life moves along, and God calls him home I wish all of you a gentle peace and warm memories of a life lived to the fullest. My love and deepest sympathies.
