A true gentleman with both depth of character, and lightness of spirit. He and his loving wife Diana were the perfect couple, supporting each other in every way. He will be sorely missed.

Walter and Diana are neighbors. We would visit with Walter almost daily as he walked his beloved dog Kirby. Walter would greet us with a big smile on his face and a sparkle in his eyes. He was modest about his own extraordinary life, but always interested in hearing about ours. He was an outstanding host at his own home, making all his guests feel special. He was the special one, and we miss him.

I feel so fortunate to have known this kind man while working at SRI for ten years. He was so generous with people less fortunate than him. He let a colleague of ours, Martha Thomson stay at one his rentals for free for many years until she passed. We spoke a few words of French together. His warm smile will always be part of my fond memories of him.

We will miss seeing him walk the dog daily in the neighborhood. Always such a gentleman.

A wonderful man. I'm honored to have known him.
