I only had the opportunity to talk with him once or twice when they did the hood and decklid for my car. He was great to deal with. Prayers for his family Last edited by WILD BILL; 11/08/09 01:27 PM.

Didn't know him very well but seemed like a pretty good guy. He had a white rabbit that someone dumped.. I don't know if he adopted it or the rabbit adopted Walt but it was very friendly. Tried to give it to me but I've already got enough critters. God Bless and rest in peace Walt
