Walter was a loving father and a loving friend. He was a friend of myself (Bill) my wife (Indy) and supporter of my children; Yasha, Douglas, Enuma and Aaron. We will cherish our memories of Walter and we miss him greatly.
Walter will be sorely missed. He always had a positive attitude. And you felt better just from having run into him. I knew him from my time in Milton and he was a great power of example to others. My prayers go out to his family.
walter and i were classmates at BLS. he was a great guy and fun to be around then and the obit tells me that hadn't changed. when i look at the pictures that are posted i see the same smile and twinkle in his eyes that i saw while we were slogging our way through "Latin".
Liam and Fiona- know your Dad was a good guy and i expect a good father. treasure your memories of him. Peace
Liam, Fiona, Joan, Elaine: Sincere condolences on the passing of your Dad and Brother. Walter “Fitz” and I did many a hockey game over the years. We remember many a Christmas at Maryknoll St back in the early years!!
May God bless you all at this difficult time.
Sincerely, The Gallagher’s/ John, Cathy, Patty, Ellie, Michael
Fiona, Liam, Elaine and Joan: Words can never express how sorry I am over the loss of Walter. He truly will be missed, by all. From the time I've known him since @ the age of 2 or 3, he'll always remain a wonderful guy! First met him when Elaine and I became friends in first grade, @ 63-64 yrs ago. He was another brother...He loved you all, especially you Liam and Fiona. RIP, Walter
