Dad -It has been a rough year spent missing you. I wish I could hear your voice once again. I can't express how hard it has been without you here. I just read your condolences guest book and I see some posts from your friends that I haven't read before. I want to thank everyone for taking the time to put in words what you meant to them… and I am deeply touched. I am so lucky to have had the time I did with you. You helped me in my darkest hour. You believed in me and never ever gave up on me. I want to make you proud. You were a man of character with a deep deep love for the Lord. Thank you for all you have done for me. I am so thankful that my last memory of you was when I read my birthday card you carefully picked out to say exactly what I meant to you.. and we both cried together. Precious memories I will cherish always. I love you My Dad. Trish

We needed a contractor and gained a great friend. Wally built the home that we are now raising our daughter in. He was trustworthy, genuine, and honest. Wally was in our lives during a very difficult time and he was patient and compassionate. God places people in our lives for a reason and we truly know why we met Wally when we did. We truly will miss him. Our deepest sympathy to his family who always spoke of.RespectfullyMatt, Dianna and Leah McGonigle

We met Wally when we needed a contractor. Not only did he build the perfect house for us, but he became like family! We will really miss seeing him around the neighborhood.

Wally was a dear Pilot Friend of mine ready to fly anytime there was time to fly! We enjoyed dinners together and walks at the 2013 Casa Grand Convention.

Wally was a dear friend with a great sense of humor. An ageless "spirit" with the energy of a 20 year old. And uncle Ed's correct, Wally could indeed talk forever, but he was truly interesting! Trisha and I would often joke, "it's Wally's world, we're just living in it!" All natural things about Wally aside for a moment, Wally left no doubt he was preparing spiritually to one day be taken home…God knows when our heart and spirit is "ripe", like fresh fruit ready to be picked. My thoughts have often gone this past week to Wally's five children whom he spoke of many time with love and affection. And of course his many grandchildren were dear to his heart. Probably not easy for Wally to express the feelings of the heart. Rest in Peace.

When my Dad passed we found a scrap of paper in his room with his writing on it. I think it's beautiful and comforting so I wanted to share… 'I don't know about tomorrow, but I know who holds my hand. He has put His hand upon me, and I cannot longer stay'

Wally was an exceptionaly good " younger brother" to me. When I needed a home he took me in to live with him and Trisha. As i rode with him as he conducted his business he talked constantly but interestingly. He was knowledgeable on so many subjects.One of his legacies will be that his influence led me to the Truth.

Grandpa, you moved so many people!! I miss you. I'm so sorry we didn't grow our bond as deep as we've been in the past, I know you love me. And Ellen, Meagan, Erica, Josh, Jacob… we're filled with sorrow. There were multiple trash bag sized bags FILLED with your random (genius) photography.. which brought me this idea.. Every hike I go on, every camping trip, any nature fun I encounter, this summer and beyond, it's all for you. I love you grandpa. I'm so happy you've reached your peace!! I know God was calling your name. You're amazing, Grandfather Wallace, I just wish you could hear me say it out loud.
