Walt, you were so good yo my Mothet Judy.Thankyou.
Walter was a kind hearted, gentle, sweet, funny man. I loved every time Cynthia and Walter would come into Cristof's. I not only saw these beautiful traits in him, but I also saw the fighter that he was. He battled this illness with courage, strength and determination. His love for Cynthia and his family kept him going. I loved joking with him and listening to how his week was going. My heart goes out to Cynthia and the family. This week I will be having a grilled cheese and tomato soup in memory of him. Love you Walter.
Walter was a kind, giving, family oriented "Gentalman". He loved his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and his special Lady Cynthia, who made him so very happy. We will all miss him and his amazing smile that could light up a room. That's what I remember most about him. His smile and his love of life. I remember seeing him dance and he just always looked so happy. I have fond memories, as we all do, and he will always be with us in our hearts. My love to the family,KM
Life is so short. Even at the age of 87 my father was one of the youngest men I have ever known. I will miss you dad. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks and love to Cynthia for making the last years of Walt's life a joy. You are a saint and will always be special to Kelly and I for making life so good for him.
Audrey and Mom, I'm so sorry to hear of Walter's passing. I will always remember the way he gazed at your mom and telling everyone he always had a knee for you to sit on too. His two special ladies as what he called you to me . My dad has a new friend and they're having a DeMar dinner and a glass of red wine. celebrate now are you can life is short…
