Walt was a giver, he loved life, he loved his family immensely. I know he loved his grandchildren to the moon and back. His smile kept you guessing all the time. We became friends a long time ago, we did a lot of crazy things together. Tons of great memories were made, never a argument between us. I will miss him telling me about aliens. I'm sure he knows now if they exist or not. Rest easy my Brother, say hello to everyone on our behalf. Oz
