Memories of working at the plant, boating and trying to ski at Lake Roy, nights working on Doug’s car and going to the races are times I fondly remember. So happy to have been able to share them with him and now have those memories. He was more than an Uncle, he was a good friend. With love and prayers to all, David and Andrea.

Walt was my supervisor at the City of Vero Beach Power Plant. He was great to learn from and work with. Outside of work Walt was my friend. He was instrumental in the construction of my drag car along with his nephew David. He will be missed.
Rest in peace “Tin Man”.
