We are sorry for your loss. Uncle Walt, was such a great person, Uncle Walter will live on in our memories forever. I was deeply saddened by the news of Uncle Walt’s passing. My heartfelt condolences to you and your family.
I’m so sorry to hear of my uncle Walt’s passing. I haven’t seen him since right before my sister passed away in 1987. We both traveled from Washington state to visit he and LaFern in Missouri. I’m the surviving daughter of his brother Winston Young, who passed away in 1996.
