He was a real nice guy with a great sense of humour.

More than that he could write well.

Whenever he posted everyone took note.

If you use the search engine I’m sure you will find something.

I’m a newbie here, but I knew Wally from the 3FMB that I post at. I was never lucky enough to call him a friend but he came across as an honest, genuine and caring guy just from his posts.

He is missed by all.
