Walter was a good uncle to me when I was in my teens, he took me with him to his stamp club and I remember visiting him and
my Aunt Jessie several times with my Dad during the course of my childhood. As usual I heard about his passing too late to attend. I hope he is at peace.
To Elizabeth, Dolores, Kathleen, and Theresa; your dad, Watty, will always be a fond memory for me. To me, he was a kind and good man for whom I will always have nothing but the greatest respect. I wish I had spent more time with him and Jessie.
