So sorry for you loss. Walter plowed with us winters ago out of Caledonia Base. He was a great operator got along with every one. He had a strong work ethic and I remember him calling on the two way many times that he was finished his plow run and wanted to know if anybody else needed a hand. He always took great pride in the equipment he operated. On behalf of the crew from Queens Department of Transportation we send our condolences to you and your family. Rest in Peace Friend

Gladys, Marion and family, so sad to hear of Walter’s passing away. Although somewhat quiet in high school, he was well liked for his kind and good nature.I always thought he was a great guy that some lucky woman would have as a partner in life.So happy he had so many friends and a loving family. May he rest in peace, an angel that has left our earth, taken away too soon.

Betty, Channing, Tanya, Aron and Marion and Gladys, Also to the Oickle girls and their spouses whom Walter was so close to and spent many years together, As kids I spent so many hours at the Carver home which was like my second home, Passing our condolences on to the family, We all have to try to remember the little things, the shared smiles the warm hugs, the laughter that Walter shared and gave us so much laughter, The pain might seem unbearable now, but in time, it is these memories that will win through and you will find happiness again. Our thoughts are with you, Walter was one of my most favorite cousins and now he is at peace and suffers no more, Someday we will be all together again,
