I have been writing this over and over for one year. It was selfish but Wally was more than a friend. He was an honest, loyal, caring, father and husband. He made people that were around better because it was never about him. He lived his life from the heart and that is why everyone that knew him felt like Wally was their best friend. When we stood together I was dwarfed, not by his size although he was 6'4
and 250 lbs but his heart and presence. I am a better person for knowing him but a selfish person for wanting more. I hope people remember him for how he lived not how he died. Wally knew that the picture was in the heart. Wally will always be in my heart.
