Marty and Coll, It was so very sad to hear of Wally’s passing. I will always remember conversations over good food and company going way back when we all had dinner with aunt Polly and Wally. What a fun evening. His gatherings at his home in Mt Vernon and so many other times in So. Florida.He was always so friendly and asking about the family. I will miss him. So very sorry for your loss.. Rest in peace Wally.
The Steadmans were neighbors of mine on 41st NE… We Switzers lived on 40th St. I knew the family well, and Wally was a good friend (so was/is Marty). I lost touch with Wally in the mid-to late-1970’s when we painted together on a crew for Jerry Vosdingh….my brother Scott was the “foreman”. Sincere condolences. Brad Switzer
