On the Farm - Memories of Walter
I am so sorry to hear about Walter passing and send my heartfelt sympathy to Marie and the rest of his family. I can’t believe it has been 60 years since I was a 9 year old kid on the farm in the summertime. But I always looked up to Walter. He was kind to me, and Marie called me “her little sweetie pie.” My strongest memory of Walter is that he introduced me to a singer named Elvis Presley. I am still a huge Elvis fan. Sometimes his music takes me back to those days. I am sorry I can’t make it to the funeral but I’m sitting here now listening to Elvis and cherishing fond memories of Walter. If there is ever anything I can do for you, please let me know.
