I am so sorry for the loss of Walley, I remember him from my childhood as a close friend of my brother Art Onasch. They entered the service together and remained friends throughout their lives. He was a very good friend and coffee partner to Art. My sympathy is sent to all his family.
I extend my sympathy to you, Carol and your family for your loss.
