We travelled many years participating in native tournaments, they still do remember him, I'm glad I had the opportunity to know Wally, his accordion playing was one of the finest, we enjoyed dancing to his band, "that I can always pray for someone when I don't have the strength to help him in some other way" to his family "B0h buty vamy" " Vichnya Pamyat " - Posted by: Kenneth Ellchuk (Friend from legion 141) on: Sep 23, 2014

I remember Walter visiting our home very well. He and my dad played many weddings, etc. and totally enjoyed each other's company. They also loved to play poker and had many Sunday night poker games. - Posted by: Beverlee Hummel (Buick) (My father, Tommy Buick was a good friend of Walter's.) on: Sep 23, 2014
