Dear Wally and family,
We were saddened to hear of the loss of your loving husband and father. I didn’t know John but have fond memories of volunteering in the E.R. at West Valley Hosp. with you Wally. I hope your many memories of the long life you and John had together will comfort you. Sending you much love and our respect for the many years of sacrifice and service to our country and community.
