Tribute Wall

Terri, Please accept my deepest sorrow & sympathy for your loss. Love, Roy,

What a shock. Wally and I were best friends in McLean in the 60’s and did a lot of crazy things together. Never forgot his 52 Dodge we named the “Love Tub”. This was a sad reminder to me that one who procrastinates about calling an old friend to catch up usually ends in a sad story. I’m very sorry Terri for your loss. I’ll always remember “Big Wally” as I called him and the antics we pulled together. Rest In Peace and say Hi to Billy and your Dad and Mom.
