One of my most precious uncles. Loved him to bits. He always had time for family…but for an uncle to take his kid nieces for a dip in Lake Charm or a car ride or in the boat…I’m sure he had better things to do.
A very fitting send off.
He will be so missed. Sincere condolences Alice and Jeff and Di.
A true gentleman. A great neighbour. Just a really good bloke. He will be missed.

Sorry for your loss Alice and Jeff. He will be missed – it will be strange seeing that empty chair in the shed and Wally not sitting there in the sunshine cleaning all those chicken eggs. RIP Wally.
