I knew Walter through his volunteer work with the Boston & Maine Railroad Historical Society Archives in Lowell many years ago, and through his interest in collecting railroad postcards. Since he moved from Wellesley to Orleans I have only seen him a few times. I will miss him greatly. My sincere sympathies to his family.
