My sympathy to your family. I have thought of Walter many times over the years and wondered how he was doing. I remember as a child going out to visit Marcella and Walter. Marcella and Lorraine were the only cousins I knew growing up. My thoughts and prayers are with you as your reflect on 94 great years. Terry Nolan Krahl

We want to express our deepest sympathy to Walter's entire family on his passing. Over the last 4 years Walter has been such an integral part of our family. His energy, sense of humor, wisdom, sage advice, joy of life, and conversation will be greatly missed. It was such a pleasure that Tillie brought him into our lives if only for a short while.
In sympathy, The Michalowski Family
