I just learned today of Uncle Wally’s passing…
I am so sorry. I have happy memories of my childhood with all of my uncles.

I never met him but I believe he was my grandfather s brother. Pretty sure  Either my mom (Brenda) or aunt (Denise) is in one of the pictures. I was looking into ancestry last year. 99! What wonderful stories he must have told!

Wonderful man!! I am who I am today because of Wally. He bought my brother and I our first car when we were 16. He taught us about life, love and respect. Will miss making you your favorite oatmeal raisin cookies and our talks. He will forever be in our hearts. RIP BWW!! 

My deepest condolences, we will miss Wally.

It was a honor to care for your Dad. Marnie 

Byrch was sitting with my Dad and their Conversation was so sweet. Byrch reminded Papa that when he gets to Heaven , Cherub , will be there and running to meet him. My dad got a huge smile on his face and just held Byrch’s hand ! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Byrch and Papa, The sweetest thing about listening to the conversation , was that Byrch reminded Papa that he would get to see CHERUB again in Heaven Running to meet him. I thought that was the sweetest comment ever. My dad got a huge smile on his face and just held Byrch’s hand.
