Fr. Wally and my Dad (Ed Lalowski) were school chums in the 1920s/1930s. He often came to our home for dinner. I spent a short time at St. Jude's Seminary where he was my Algebra teacher.

UNCLE WALTER WAS A SPECIAL PERSON

WHEN EVER YOU WOULD VISIT HIM HE WAS

ALWAYS INTERESTED IN "WHAT'S NEW"

ALWAYS LOOKING TO LEARN WHAT HAD

HAPPENED SINCE THE LAST VISIT.

A PERSON WHO HAD A HARD TIME SAYING

"NO" TO PEOPLE JUST WANTED TO HELP

EVERYONE HE KNEW. WILL MISS HIM

VERY MUCH. DURING MY VISITS.

GLAD HE WAS MY RELATIVE.

I was fortunate enough to have had several visits with Father Walter (my great uncle) over the last couple of years. He helped me with my family history and shared stories about my great grandfather and what it was like to grow up in his time. I had hoped to come to Illinois again for a visit with him this year. I'll always remember how easy it was to talk with him and how willing he was to share stories. God Bless.

I love my great Uncle, I had wonderful childhood memories with him, and he did gave my 8th grade graduation mass at St Joes in St Louis. Now I know he will be with my grandfather.
