We had the privilege of knowing Walter since our son Anthony married Sandy over twenty years ago. He always presented himself to us as being a deeply caring man, with a warm and welcoming personality, which reflected in the unity and warmth of his large loving family, which he and his wife Milly spent their years together nurturing. Our prayers are with you now, as we know that he is sadly missed. God Bless you all and may he Rest in Peace. - Posted by: Mona and Terry Duddridge (Parents of Sandy's husband Anthony. ) on: Jun 18, 2015
