Wally & I shared a special connection that is truly missed. He was funny, playful & serious, sensitive yet strong but always realistic and so very much more all wrapped up in just one person. He was that one of kind of person that lifted you to be the very best you could be and I will forever be grateful to him. He will forever be in my heart. My Love Always Rebecca

I’ve waited a long time to write this. Not surprised to learn of this, but he was not an honest person. Caused a lot of people a lot of pain. Him and his life partner, really. I could go on and on but rest in peace if that’s possible.
