I am very saddened to hear of Wally's passing. I met him over 30 years ago when I worked at LaSalle Financial across from his office on Diversey. We referred many of our clients to each other and they all let me know he did an outstanding job with their taxes and was a delightful person. I will miss our frequent conversations and his tales of great travels. Rest well my friend.

Friends since we were both teaching special ed kids at Crown school in 1969.
Then we took a road trip with my sister in Wally's VW Beatle. San Fran down to LA via Pacific coast Highway, then to Encantado Mexico. We sailed with Ken.
And we were always good friends. I cherish those good times even when he tried to teach me how to drive a stick on his VW. It drove him nuts!
Wow! Thanks Wally for the good times we all had. Love you, Ellen
