Donnie and I would like to express our sympathy. Donnie worked with Walt for many years at Weirton Steel. When I told Donnie that I had read of Walt’s passing, he was very saddened and said, “Walt was truely one good guy.” I can remember when I would call Donnie at work that Walt would be in the office and always would yell “HI, Jan!” You are in our thoughts and prayers. Donnie and Jan Mitchell
Sandy, Mark & Barb, JoLynn, Carol & TJ: I can’t begin to tell you how sorry I was to hear about Walt. Even after eight years in Florida there are two things I still can’t get used to at this time of year –the sunshine and not spending Christmas Eve with all of you at Larry & Chick’s. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Kelly
Carol, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad. I’m sorry I didn’t get to visit with your parents on my last trip home. I still think about the stories your Dad told about my grandfather. My favorite being about how they “came by” the ceramic tile for our houses! I wish I could be there. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Sandy, Our deepest sympathy. Walt gave forth a strong fight. May the good times and memories help you during these dark days. He was a great guy and we will always remember his friendly personality and the times we shared with him at Denny & Janice’s get-to-gethers, God Bless you and all of your family. Fondly, Becky & Gary
