He loves talk about ship and smelt dip Saginaw bay, and love his family.
I loved Walt! His warm smilie was always welcoming at the barn. Such a kind, good man...I’m lucky to have known him...as well as so many other Willow’s riders.
Sending love to you Aggie and your entire family
Walt was my father-in-law for 45 years, and I will always remember what a really good and honorable man he was. He welcomed me as his "daughter" from the first time I met him.
He was a great storyteller when talking about his life in the Merchant Marines, and, thanks to him, my coffee was hot and waiting for me every morning during my family visits.
I loved him...I always will.
My love to all the family....
