Walt was kind and thoughtful. He always greeted me by name and with a smile. He'd answer the phone when I'd call. He gave me good advice over the years. My condolences to the family.

Mary Jo, we were incredibly sad to hear of Walt's passing and so very sorry for your and your family's loss. Walt was a great friend, wonderful golf partner, happy soul and always ready for a good laugh at mine or his own expense. He was the only person I knew that could fix any vehicle and you could trust the repair was needed and the cost was fair! We will always remember the fun times in the Sports Lounge with the both of you and Sophie. I will truly miss never being called "one more Randy" by him again. Knowing Walt was a true blessing. We wish you and your family the very best in moving forward in life while keeping Walt in your hearts. With love, Randy and Carrie Kyle.
