Dear Dorothy, Michelle, Clifford and the entire family;

Like everybody, I too was saddened when I was informed of Walter's passing. There are no words kind or soothing enough to ease the heartache.

I will always remember Walter as a founding member of TBY; (I believe our roots extend as far back as Hyde Park Liberal), as a loyal freind of the family for 60 years; and above all else, his kind and gentle nature.

My thoughts and prayers are with everyone during this time of bereavement.
