Dear Loved Ones: Our sorrow is as deep as our love for you. The memories of the many happy years we shared will lessen the sadness but we know one of the best parts of our lives has left us. We will never forget Wally.

Dear Aline and Family:

Our deepest sympathy in your loss of Wally, Husband, Father and Grandfather. We will remember all of the good times and many laughs we had over the past 50 years. Wally was a joy to be with, but then I guess you all know that. He will be missed and always remembered.
