I had not seen him in many years, however, I have fond memories of him being a fun smart person to be around. He and Olga kept close contact with my Mom which she loved and I appreciated. A "good" guy was my Uncle Walter. - Posted by: Martha Wakaruk (I am his niece - his sister Lena's second youngest child.) on: Jan 07, 2012
