I met Walter 23 years ago in AZ. He was my walking buddy for a few years and became a friend to my family. We called him, Mr. Walter. He always had funny sayings. One of my favorites was…Play with trash, it’ll get in your eyes. Everything is alright now my friend. I’m going to miss you.

Brother Tomahawk, you were a friend, a counselor and a confidant. Although I lost contact with you the last eight years, you were always on my mind. Rest in peace now my brother. Prayers to all those who loved you.

So sad of hearing the passing of my brother in Christ, Walter. I really enjoyed sharing life stories with you at Christians in Commerce. You always knew how to bring a smile in my face. Say “Hi” to Jesus for me. Love you, brother.
