“I'm so sorry for Walt's loss. I still call him "Buddy" and have many wonderful childhood memories from our days as kids at our grandparents' house and also at Walt's. We had fun together and formed a strong bond as cousins. While I know Walt is no longer suffering and is at peace, I will miss him. He was a good man who overcame many challenges in life. I'm sending lots of prayers of peace and comfort to his wife, children, sister, mother, and his extended family. With love, Scarlett”
