I have such fond memories of Uncle Wally and the times our family would get together with his. He was always a very loving Uncle and showed such interest in us all. He was kind hearted and such a good natured man. I will miss him dearly and I am glad he is resting with God now and his suffering has been lifted. Auntie Georgia, our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time in your life. God Bless~ Nick and Shelley Hogg

Georgia & family,
Our thoughts & prayers are with you and your family at this time.
My fondest memory of Wally was when he & Larry did the Blues Brothers routine.
They were amazing. He was always smiling & happy, every time I saw him.
I also remember celebrating your 25th wedding anniversary with you guys.....you two were so cute & even with 25 years behind you, you were still so "mushy" in love.
I'm sorry that he's gone but I'm glad that he will not be suffering any longer
and I bet Wally is glad that his struggle is finally over too; eleven years was a long time.
Thinking of you,
Sally & Steve
