    Donna & Family, We are so sorry for your recent loss, and we pray the Lord gives you peace and encouragement during your time of bereavement. We loved Walter and will miss the lively tales of his shenanigans when you went gambling or playing Mexican Train with Mom & Dad. We're glad they were there with you and Walter before his passing. I neglected to send the $5 that I owe him from our bet in 1990, but I think it will be o.k. to hold onto it until I see him again one day. May God bless you and keep, may His face shine upon you. Warmest Love, Binnie, Dicky, and Emmy

    Donna & Family, Our condolences to all of you... Truly sad news, first Buddy & now Walt. They will always be with us on our surfing trips and all of our fond memories of 2 great people who entered our lives through a mutual friend...Bob Gecoma. Walt & Bud were both great fishing companions and we shared a lot of good times together over many years. They will surely be missed. It was a privilege to have known them and an honor to be able to call them "friends". May they rest in peace. Until we meet again........... "Bobby Gees Surf Fishing Buddies" Rob Fultz, Big John Yurciw, Larry Lynch, Mark Lynch, Robert "Goat" Gunther and of course our landlord, Bob Gecoma

    Dear Donna and family, Kathe and I sharply feel the space Walt filled over these many years. How much greater your feelings. Our prayers are with Walt and you and your family, He was strong in so many ways - as strong as his "good steel." See you soon, Walt. Don and Kathe
