We will miss Wally greatly—he was a true friend to us when we were new in the community. His heart was large—there was always room for one more. He reflected Christ’s love in both word and deed. We send our deepest condolences to Pat and family. With love, Marshia, Ken & Sarah

I first met Mr. Yoho at 8th grade football practice, in 1976. What a great coach ! ! ..... I still remember his encouraging, ..... sometimes colorful....., words of wisdom. He taught me 3 years of Industrial Arts ( Wood Shop ) ..... he truly loved teaching and coaching and was GREAT at both .... a good friend of mine who will be missed ..... Rest in Peace .....
