My best friend I took a real estate class at Harper just over 20 years ago and Mr. Davis was our instructor. My friend and I were just talking about him the other night so I thought I'd randomly do a google search and it saddens me to find Mr. Davis passed away 6 years ago. He was without a doubt one of the most fun/entertaining teachers I have EVER had. SO much wit and humor, we actually looked forward to coming to class just because of him.  To his family, I know I'm late but I'm sorry for your loss, he was beyond amazing and I've never forgotten just how amazing he was.

Wally made a huge impact as a young student finding his way.  Because of him I finished college and am a successful real estate broker.
He treated all of his students with open arms and always looked forward to grabbing a cup of coffee in his office with the opera music playing in the background and discussing life!  He truly was one-of-a-kind. May his memory be eternal.

Wally was a tireless worker for the well-being of students at Harper.  He and I worked together on the Curriculum Committee for many years and I learned a great deal from the way he dealt with problems as committee chair.  When it came my turn to chair the committee, he was always there with sound advice and assistance.  RIP, Wally!

I am so sorry for your loss.  I was a counselor at Harper 72-02.
I was grateful for my friendship with both Wally and Vera.  Harper was a better place because of them. He was as nice as he was handsome.  His contributions in and outside the classroom were a good example for the rest of us.  I am so sorry for your loss.

Wally care for me in my early career at Harper.  He blessed many & I count his counsel as critical is my success.  Many prayers and much love to the family.

I am sending my fondest wishes to all of Wally (Dean's) family and closest friends.  I came to know him through his  lovely wife Vera after we all were  retired.  What a wonderful couple they were!  So kind; so gracious.  He will be missed.

Always kind, helpful, and thoughtful. I learned much from him during my early years at Harper College. He will be missed.

My condolences to all of Wally's family.  I remember Wally from my early days as a member of the Harper College faculty.  His presence and influence for good was felt by all who knew him.
