I will always remember Uncle Walter as being such a patient and fun man. Even with all the kids he had of his own he would let us nieces and nephews come and stay in NJ with the family as often as our summer vacations would allow. More kids making noise and running around the house might have been difficult for a lesser man, but not for Walter. He was so patient and his lessons on the environment and on life in general were the best classes I’d ever attended. I was not only amazed by how much he knew, but how much he shared. He and Lucia were the perfect pair. At least for the nieces and nephews. Lucia would say what way we were going somewhere and for lesson to be learned, he’d alway sneak up aside and let us know it wasn’t that bad and we were so loved by everyone. I remember him taking us out to the school parking lot at night to watch the bats come out of the trees. Of course, being from a big city we were all pretty afraid of the bats and he taught us we had nothing to fear from nature as long as we learned to respect it. I always thought he was the smartest man alive (sorry dad) He not only taught me about himself, he thought me so much about aunt Lucia and he would make me think of the kind of person I wanted to me. I would hang on his every word. He was a very special part of my upbringing. And with his help o think I turned out okay! I love the photograph you’ve chosen. He looks very good for himself, he has that wonderful inviting smile and he’s here in New England where I think, secretly, was always one of his favorite places in the world. How could it not be, it was his home. My adult son is very into Dr Who also and I can remember Walter doing something I could never do. I could never patiently wait for Ryan to get through his Dr Who memory and Uncle Walter could keep up with every memory or quirk. To have a son like Ryan could be very isolating but Walter always found a way to include him in a conversation. And one of his last visits home he asked if I could arrange for him to meet up with our daughter and her brand new baby. He truly was interested in knowing as many relatives as possible. As much as losing him is sad for the world, and his family, I look at how grateful I was to be given the opportunity to know and love the man. And I will forever. Karen
