In a few days, a week, a month, would you be kind enough to post a few lines to let us know a bit more about your father, “Everyday-Wally”. In view of the testimonials given in so short a time by so many, you surely realize what our friend meant to this community, if ever there was any doubt. I may be going out on a limb here, but I guess the rest of the Dopers would be most grateful.
Whatever you do, please keep in touch. Our thoughts are with you and the rest of your family.
And while I realize that it’s still early, and there’s still a lot to be done…
if you could let us know where and when memorial/funeral services will be held, it’d be greatly appreciated.
My heart goes out to you, Steve, and your mother.
… and if there is a preferred charity where we might send contributions in his memory.
Let us know how you and your mother are too.
Please remember you are not alone, if you need anything or just someone to talk to - so many people are here for you. Really.
My prayers are with you and your family, at this time.
Wally will be sorely missed by many.
I echo other sentiments in saying we are all here for you, whenever and however you need us.
One last thought, Amy.
A person, though gone, is never truly dead if he lives in the heart of another.
By this criteria, rest assured that your father is immortal, for he lives in the hearts of thousands.

Truer words were never spoken, Amy. He certainly lives in my heart, and the hearts of all of us here in Dopeville.
I also echo the sentiments of everyone else above me.
I always love a good “me too” post so here’s one. Amy, just let any one of us know if there is ever anything we can do for you. Your father was very loved by people here and we would do anything in our power to help his loved ones. We’re here for your family.
When anyone dies, a community of people miss them–
family, friends, neighbors, co-workers. We all
have a community that runs wider and deeper than
we realize.
Wally is one of the very few, however, that has
Dopers missing him so much. What an impact he made.
There are so many posts I dont know where to post & anything I could say has already been said already.
