RIP Walter! You have touched so many lives, you are one of those great individuals who will be dearly missed by everyone! I only knew you for a few years but I learned one of the best lessons from you: Have a thicker skin, don't let it get you! You showed me kindness at a time when I had almost given up on life. Believe it or not the job you gave me (and allowed me to keep despite 100% lateness) helped me immensely as it was the one steady thing in my life at the time. Thanks to you I was able to heal, recover, clear my name and get back to EMS. Thank you for everything Walter! I know you're off to a better place, there is nowhere to go from here but up! Don't forget to smile down on us now and then! You are missed!
