Walt was beloved classmate and good friend during our time at USNA. We shared a house, the infamous Countess Armfelt’s, during our first June week. Walt was always ready for ball game or a celebratory party; missed the opportunity to serve with Walt after graduation. I send my prayers to Walt’s family and please accept my sincere condolences .

My deepest sympathy for your loss. I was in the 29th Company with Walt at USNA. We were shipmates after graduation onboard the Kraus, a ship out of Charleston, SC. At Navy, we all loved Walt. outgoing, funny, and a friend to all of us. it was a treat to be with him on the ship as we shared a beer and laughs after long hard days of work.
Walt made friends easily and there is a hole in my heart knowing he is gone, but he will never be forgotten.

Jim Branson, 29th Company. USNA 1972

Greetings!  As a USNA classmate of Walter and  resident in the same wing (6th) during that time, we undoubtedly had contact with each other during those 4 years.   I did not know him while at the Academy or thereafter but share a brotherhood that few understand.  My prayer for you his family and friends  is the Lord's comfort and peace.   
Edwin A. Burnette '72 ,  USNA 28th  Company.
