The best word I have to describe Walter is "colorful" in every sense of the way. Whether it was in his bright pink sport coat or his personality...........he smiled a lot. A tragic loss. Thoughts are with Mary and the rest of the family. Molly In a message dated 12/9/2013 11:11:29 P.M.

He could wear a bow tie and blazer and slacks with the best of them. He knew a good dog, had the strength to do what he wanted and when he said "walk on a loose lead" you had better do it. Loved showing under him and then spending time after the shows listening to his many interests and stories. He will be missed by us all. Many condolences to his family.
