I was a classmate of Wally's in the Hudson High class of 1960. I think of him as one of the great silent majority, middle America; authentic; bedrock.
All the best to his daughters and grandchildren.##imported-begin##Walter Bickford##imported-end##

I remember Wally from our youth. He was a "good sport," pleasant, affable classmate and all around good guy to know. In his own way he has shown what a good American and devoted family man truly is. I hope to meet him again in the afterlife. I'm going to miss your humorous and interesting e-mails.....See ya later Wally.##imported-begin##Richard P. LeSage##imported-end##
