Having known Walter for many many years, I most loved his “ no filter “

October 9, 2021 at 2:57 pmDear Joanne and Family:
We sent you an expression of sympathy in the mail, but we also wanted to leave this message. Due to both of us having to work late yesterday, we were unable to attend Walter’s services, but know that we are thinking of you and your family, and keeping you in our prayers. I have many happy memories from my childhood and youth having fun with Walter and my other cousins at the Pauta family get-togethers, and I will always remember those good times.
With sympathy,’
Cousins Richard & Lori Padova
