I'm very saddened to hear this but thanks for letting us know. He was truly a legend in the turning world and a gentleman in the rest of the world. I never had the good fortune to meet him in person but wish I had. His legacy lives on in so many of us who learned a thing or two from him. I wish him and his family and friends peace during a very difficult time. I'm sure he's "up there" riding the bevel and turning beads with his special tool. Maybe even showing a famous carpenter from a couple thousand years ago how to turn wood.

R.I.P. Wally, and thanks.

What a good guy

I have been emailing his daughter. I never got to meet Wally but we've corresponded on WC for a long time. I will miss his wit and instructions.

I sent his daughter a mirror as a thank you for taking care of him. She sent this photo back just a few days ago.

Wally was a close friend, and taught me a lot in a very short ti,e. I will miss his mentorship, his sense of humor, and his beading tool! RIP Wally, and keep those shavings flying! My heartfelt condolences to his family as well.

I have two of Wally's pieces. I will cherish them more than ever. I am very sorry to hear of his passing. I would have loved to spend some shop time with him. I can't imagine all the knowledge he took with him.

Rest in piece Wally.
