  • Walt, My Brother from a Different Mother, you will always live inside those of us who were lucky enough to know you. You made sweet music behind the mic and beyond the stage. You will be missed but fondly remembered. Thanks for the Miles-of-Smiles!

  • Sorry to hear of Wally's passing. I remember him from the Pumpkin days in the 60's when he played with the Deltons and I played Bass for Gary and the Nightbeats.

    He was a great musician and a super nice guy as well. My sympathy to his family. Ted Cuda

  • Old friend Jeff White called me and told me the sad news. I have known Wally sice he had to pick me up for gigs. I didn't have my license yet. I was one of the original Deltons. Though the miles seperated us he was always in my thoughts. He is always in my heart. I love you brother. Garry

  • Mr Soul Man! My heart is heavy because you are gone. So enjoyed hanging with you and Betty at SL Hotel, Rock & Rolling & dancing w/the Old Dogs.

    Your music touched everyone around you. I thank God for the happy times through your music and wisdom you brought to me and my friends. Rock on Mr Soul Man!
