It’s been 6 years since my friend Wally left our world.  I remember our 12 years in school and many memories of our adult years.  He has completed what we have yet to do.  Miss you my friend.  Anne Crane Scott

I am very sorry to hear about Mr. Wally. He was an extremely nice, generous, and thoughtful man, and my thoughts are with the Swartz family.

Wally was the most beloved classmate. We all have special memories of him. He brought joy to everyone he met.  I will miss him.

Ethel and I were saddened to hear about the passing of Wally. He was truly a great guy who loved his family and friends.
I was fortunate to meet Wally at Mt. Branch when I moved to Md. years ago. We shared many great rounds of golf together along with a great group of guys who hung out together. 
Wally was the Mayor of Mt. Branch to me and he had a great sense of humor and enjoyed kidding me often.
A true class act and to his family, our deepest sympathies and prayers go out to you.

Met and worked with Wally when I was with GE and he was at Graybar. Wrote many orders with him there and at Shepherd Electric and we shared many good times. He will be greatly missed in our business and as a friend of mine.

I met Wally through Uncle Mo ...
Thought the world of him from day one. Played ball with him on occasion and admired his gifted athleticism. He was truly a class act in every way ... my sincere sympathy goes out to Wally’s entire family. Please don’t Mourn the loss but celebrate the life of a wonderful man. I’m sure he is sitting with Morris in paradise enjoying  “cold one”!!! Rest In Peace my friend

I've known Wally as a friend and a colleague in the electrical industry for over 25 years.  A wonderful person, proud of his family and a man of integrity!   A caring, kindhearted  gentleman.  The world is a better place because you were here.
Rest in Peace, my Friend.
 

I knew Wally from Shepherd.  When I started, he was one of the most warm and welcoming people that I had ever met.  He always had a word of encouragement and advice on dealing with even the most difficult customer.  He would talk about his family with such pride and glow!  I will miss seeing his friendly smile at our holiday event.  

Sending all my thoughts and prayers to your family.

My deepest sympathy for the loss of Wally
Just saw him this summer at Elkview Country Club he was in area for their 70th birthday party 


I am heartbroken at the loss of our dear W ally. My deepest sympathy to you all! My thoughts and prayers are with you.

For Wally, a bright light.
Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I  have only slipped away into the next room Nothing has happened. Everything remains exactly as it was. I am I, and you are you, and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by the old familiar name. Speak of me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference into your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed together.
Think of me, pray for me, let my name be spoken without the ghost of a shadow upon it.
Life means all that it meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is absolute and unbroken continuity. What is this death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am  but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner.
All is well.

RIP Wally.  I grew up just up the street from Wally and shared many of the same youthful activities.  As an older neighborhood kid he was always a positive influence on me.  I remember Don as well.   Condolences to his family.

Wally was a friend since childhood.  I have wonderful memories of happy times together.  My last conversation with him was a week and a half ago and he was an inspiration to me.  Go with God my friend .

Wally and I had many great times together. We played basketball, tennis and golf many times growing up together in Carbondale. Wally was a good friend and great guy. We will all miss him. My condolences to Terri,  Julie and Tracie. Wally was so proud of all of you. 

I am grateful to have been able to spend a wonderful evening in June with Wally, Dave, Frank and Craig prior to our “70th”
Birthday celebration in Carbondale.
Wally was honest about what he was facing but managed to be present in the moment giving all of us a gift.



I will always remember the great times we had on our family get together vacations in the Outer Banks.  Wally was one in a million and I will miss him terribly.  My deepest condolences to his entire family.

Wally and I grew up  in Carbondale, Pa.  We played sports together since we were about 7 or 8 years old.  Wally was a year older than I - and he was also better at just about every sport.  We used to meet as 7-8 year old kids and 'sneak' into the old armory across from his house in Cdale.  There was a basketball court in there that we would use until the military personnel would show up - they often would let us play even though they were doing their exercises.  We also played little league baseball together and softball as we got older.  We could often swim at his parent's cottage at Newton Lake.  He was a terrific guy and his entire family was smart and talented.  His Carbondale friends, and they are numerous, will miss him - we did not see him enough.  He adored his family and could never talk enough about his three girls.  May God Bless him and all of you.  

During my years at St. Rose, Wally was a dear friend.  Wally was one of the good guys; maybe even the best.  I wish to convey my condolence and sympathy to Wally's family and friends. I hope each day brings you peace in this unfortunate time.

There are far too many memories to single out just one for such a lifelong friend.  I can never forget him and will think of him always.  Terri, Julie and Tracie you are the best testaments to Wally's life and I know how much he loved you all.  I will hug you all soon and then we can reminisce about this great soul.  We were all so lucky to have had him as part of our lives, but none more than you. I hope you can find some solace in that during your bereavement.  Wally's was a life well lived and his absence is immeasurable.  I loved him.
