I just received word that Wally is not doing well. His daughter said he has Lung Cancer and sleeps a lot. He is not in any pain and is well taken care of. Thought you would all want to know. Sam

I just read a little more on Wally's condition and it doesn't sound good. What a great guy. Never got to meet him but talked to him frequently often on our Wednesday chats. Sure wish I could have spent some time with him. Wish him well in this last journey. I know he will be welcome wherever it leads. My prayers go out to the family.
Wally fixed my feet

Certainly, sad news...
I always have credited Wally with being the guy who "fixed my feet" on my bowls and vessels. In fact, I actually was talking to a guy in my shop yesterday and mentioned it to him how this legacy of knowledge in woodturning gets passed from one person to the next. Thank you Wally for taking the time to share with all of us.
I wish you peace and comfort.

Wally is a great guy and a mentor to many a woodturner. I had the privilege of meeting him several times and always came away with some pearl. I wish him well in this last journey.

Very sad to read this; Wally has been a mentor and an inspiration to us all. Sending my best wishes for the very best in pain management and medical care.
Thank you, Wally for teaching us all that this sport can be enjoyed until a ripe old age!
Safe spinning,

Last Oct Wally did a "video conference" interview for our local clubs 25th anniversary.
The original plan had been for him to come up, but he decided he was not strong enough to come up.
Sad to hear he is getting weaker.
sorry to hear it

Others have already said it very well.
Wishing you all the best, Wally. ...GG

Thanks Sam,
I was fortunate to meet Wally several times. He has inspired many, served his country, I'd say a life well lived!

Really sorry to hear about Wally. I never had the good fortune to met him. I do have two of his pieces that I will cherish the rest of my life.
He will be highly missed in the turning community.

Sorry to hear this unfortunate news. None of us lives forever but he sure made a good run at it.
Thanks for everything Wally!
Peace.
