OpalCat - Thanks for putting this up. I was in shock, stunned beyond belief. Reading your page was wonderful. I laughed so hard rereading the gerbil story and really enjoyed the cybersex thread. As so many others, I didn’t really know Wally, but I have a feeling that he would like us to continue to get a big kick out of life and remember him for the good man he was. Again, thanks. ---

I composed this to make myself feel better. Would it be OK if I added it to the memorial page? **WALLY IS…** More than amusing, he is a muse His wit can fill you with joy His wit can cut like a knife His insufference of fools can cause gales of laughter His patience for the kind can cause kindness to flourish He is the barrel of laughs that supports the barrel rider He is the quintessential funny man He is the quintessential straight man He is Abbott He is Costello He is a sage He is the soul of our board He is the tie that binds us He is a status symbol He is afraid of rodents He is a cranky old man He is a husband and a father He is modest He is lost… …and so are we. ---

There are now 4 pages of the remembering wally pages… 1. a page where you can post your memories of Wally, with some of Wally’s more favorite moments posted as well. 2. a page of Wally quotes and tributes to Wally. 3. a page of links to Wally threads (add one) 4. Wally sigs I’m still looking for more pictures of Wally, if anyone has any. ---

Just when I think Opalcat can’t impress me anymore… That page is outstanding. Thank you. I wrote this song to Wally a few weeks ago. It’s not much, but if you want to add it to the Tribute page, I’d be honored. (To the theme from Flipper) His name is Wally! Wally! And he’s very verbal and scared of gerbils placed in his hands. His name is Wally! Wally! His one liners slay me his daughter’s named Amy He’s from the North Lands! He’s got a cycle, cycle that he liked to ride until the P.O.S. died on some dark path. He’s a troll slayer, slayer with plenty of guts He’ll call you a Putz so don’t earn his wrath! ---
