Dear Irene and family, I was doing a Garnieski search and found Wallace's death notice. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you. The last time I saw you and Wally was at the Garnieski Family reunion in Crivitz, WI about 14 years ago. Too bad we didn't have another reunion. My prayers are with you and yours.
