We can never say enough wonderful things we loved and will miss about Uncle Walt. He was one of a kind. He was a great story teller. We could sit and listen to his stories for hours (and have ☺️). He loved his family. He could always make you laugh and, his laugh was infectious. I wish I could post a couple of pictures here from the last time we saw him when he and Aunt Gail, Uncle John and Aunt Evangeline came to visit us in Georgia. We had such a wonderful time with them and regret not being able to see him again since. Even though we spoke with him over those years, we weren’t able to give him a big hug and kiss since then. He will be missed terribly. He will always be in our heart and our hearts are with all of you. ❤️
