In deepest sympathy of the passing of Walt. It was my pleasure to have known him. Walt was one of the most fun loving and outspoken people I have ever met.rnHe would say the things most people may think but would never say out loud and look at you and smile, which made the comment twice as funny.I can remember him just kicking back at home with a nice glass of a certain adult beverage ( OLD CROW) a pack a VICROY , and some pistashio nuts watching boxing on TV . He Taught me alot about the sport of boxing and football. He was a great friend and neighbor to me when Iwas a teen growing up. One time he paid me to wax his EL CAMINO and I did a terrible job!! There were huge wax spots all over that car!! But he still paid me as promised. He had such quick wit, always joking , usually smiling at something devilishly.I also had the pleasure to know the Walt who had a heart of gold. The man who did not judge you for past mistakes you may have made or your shortcommings. The friend who would be there to pick you up or stand bye you when other people may have turned their heads. It was my pleasure to say he was my friend. My condolences to his Family,rnLisa Tidabockrn
