RIP Walt.
Sincere Condolences
My condolences to his family. Walt was a great leader and always lead by example.
I met Walt 43 years ago when I became an apprentice in the pipe shop. He always lead by example and always willing to help out others. My condolences to his family.
I am so sorry to hear of Walters passing. He was pretty much my first best guy friend growing up and I have such fond memories of him. Always a gentleman and a jokester. I sti have a bracelet he gifted me for my 13th birthday. His smile lit up a room as did the true warmth he displayed when he saw me or other friends. Heaven has gained an angel and I know he will watch over us all. Shed many tears this weekend over this news but my good memories of him comfort me. Rest now.
