I am sorry to read of Wally’s passing. My prayers are with his whole family, and siblings as well. You all have my condolences. I am glad that I got to spend some time with Wally last summer at the Hoffart reunion, and also at the Cracker Barral. R.I.P. Wally.
Rest in Peace, Wally.
Good longtime friend. We will miss you.
May God’s peace be with you.
Wally and I worked with each other at Great Plains Container. We hunted and fished together and made a lot of unforgettable memories. He was my friend for life. I found out that he was a born again christian. That made me very happy because that meant we shell know and enjoy our friendship forever, Thank you Jesus! He ended his race and got a crown of life! To his family: be sad for a little while and then follow his lead! He lived life with vigor, he would want that for his family. I will miss him a lot. Now I have to find someone to help me fix my computers. He would think that is funny! Thank you for being a blessing in my life Wally. Your friend Mike
