Uncle Wally you will be missed. I remember so many memories as a kid from the parties to going up and cutting down the Christmas trees. I would always remember how he would answer the phone with what sounded like yellow rather than hello. Prayers and love ya.

Wally has been a good friend of ours for years, even tho we didn’t get to see him often. So very glad we got to visit with him at the surprise birthday party a few months ago.
He will be missed. Our prayers and hugs to his family!
