To his 3 daughters whom he loved with all his heart and his sister and family as well as all his grans.Im so sorry for this great loss. He was proud of his grans. Something we shared were many conversations about them. Two of my grans ages 4 and 7 seen him a lot and called him Papa Walter. This was the kind of man he was. Friends till the end. He was my first friend when I moved here 5 years ago as well as my neighbor for 4 years and during those 4 years he introduced me to his family and I did the same. I'm going to miss him as I know you all will too. Remember if I can ever do anything for you all I'll be here. He would have done the same for me. I could go on and on but I'll close with I love you buddy and I'll see you again some sweet day in Jesus Name
