Beth Phillips wrote a sympathy message

“Walt was a tremendous support in the earlier stages of my biography of his father, despite their fraught relationship. Walt’s unbending moral sensibility coupled with profound empathy softened and bolstered the lives of his patients and his friends. His authorial contributions to the gay community and beyond will continue to reverberate. I’m deeply grateful to have had him in my life.”
