Janet and family;

Was incredibly saddedned to hear of Wally's death. I know he loved you and the girls so very, very much. I pray for your peace in this difficult time. Wally carried a great deal of light for the world and he freely shared that with everyone he knew. He was very kind to me and I will always remember him.

Janet,

We were sorry to hear of Wally's passing.  He was a wonderful man who loved the Lord and his family.  What a sense of humor!  God bless you as you go through this time of adjustment.

Janet and family,

I am so sorry to hear of Wally's passing. He will always be so dear to me. I was only 19 when I transferred to Square D Miami in 1973 and Wally always looked out for me. I always told me Dad that he never had to worry about me working in Miami because I really felt I had joined an extended family @ Square D. When Wally told me he was leaving Square D I was heartbroken and wished he would stay, but he told me I would be perfect to take his over his position. He gave me the confidence to do so even though I knew in my heart that no one could replace Wally. Many thanks to a wonderful man who I will always remember as a mentor and a dear friend. He will always be a part of my fondest memories of days gone by. 
Sincerely, Lynne Colgan Cichowski

Although I have known Wally for only a short time - I so enjoyed his love for life and his love for the people at the food pantry  - workers and clients.  He was so refreshing in a world that needs humor and a moment of joy!  God Bless you Janet and all of your family.  Cheryl Chase

You will be greatly missed, Wally! I would love to see you teasing and joking with those who are in Heaven with you. Janet you are in our hearts and prayers.

we will miss you Wally, but we know heaven is brighter today because you are there.  Love and hugs to Janet and the rest of the family

Sorry to hear of Wally's passing.  He will be missed.  Even though we only knew Wally for a small time, he became very precious to us.  I loved his humor and the way we could banter with each other.  After seeing him suffer this past year, it is a blessing to know that his healing is now complete.  He has finished the race and has received his reward.  Our prayers are with you, Janet and your family.  The last time we saw Wally before we left in May, Wally told us that he would be gone before we got back in October.  He said this with a smile on his face, a smile of expectation and peace.
Merle and Linda Jaarda

Wally was such a special man.  He lived his life with total devotion to the Lord.  His wonderful sense of humor will be greatly missed.
