So sorry for your loss. I had many great fishing trips with Wadz and my dad growing up. He was a good family friend and was always around to help. All the good old guys are leaving. Again, my and my wife's condolences to the family.

I am so sorry for the loss of Walter. It was a priviledge to care for him and your family during your time in the emergency room. Mrs. Zavrotny, I could see the love in your eyes for your husband when you told me that you wanted to take care of him at home. May you find comfort in the memories you shared together.
