To all the family you have our sympathy. From Walters first cousin Kenneth Bennett in Columbia, Ky
Always saw Walter at McDonalds. He was such a nice man. Always friendly and for a long time didn’t know his name. He was concerned for me when I had knee replacement. To the family, I am so sorry for your loss.
