Paul and I are saddened to hear of your dad's passing. Paul says he remembers him in his apron at the grocery store! My memories are more current when I had the pleasure of seeing him at Avamere...he was alway so pleasant and friendly to everyone and would not hear of me calling him Mr. Gainer...I had a hard time but every time I went to help him in his apt I would say Hi Wally and he would grin at me! Oh how he loved his wife and children and grandchildren! Take good care - he will be missed in our community...Paul & Marcia Krenz##imported-begin##Marcia Krenz##imported-end##

May God bless and comfort you during this time. One of my favorite memories is winning a $10 bag of groceries at the store. Long live the Gainer name ... Wally was a great man and served our community well.##imported-begin##Cheryl Jones Young##imported-end##

So sorry to hear about your Dad. he was a great guy. Your folks were such gracious, warm people who were such good friends to LuVerne and Eldridge and our extended family. They even allowed me to baby sit you 3 older kids, and you survived. I think of them often. The world is a better place because of Wally and Aline.##imported-begin##Pat Hughson##imported-end##

SORRY TO HEAR OF YOUR DAD'S PASSING. I HAVE FOND MEMORIES OF OUR TWO FAMILIES GETTING TOGETHER AS YOUNG KIDS AND HANGING OUT AT THE OLD STORE ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MOM WOULD WORK PART TIME HELPING OUT AND MY AUNT PAT WORKING AT THE MEAT COUNTER. I AS WELL AS MY OLDER BROTHERS THOUGHT VERY HIGHLY OF BOTH YOUR DAD AND MOM, THEY WERE BOTH VERY GOOD TO OUR PARENTS WHEN KIM PASSED AWAY AS A LITTLE GIRL AND THEN AGAIN WHEN DAD PASSED THEY WERE THERE FOR MOM. WE WERE VERY BLESSED TO HAVE HAD BOTH IN OUR LIVES.##imported-begin##RANDY CROUSE##imported-end##

We are very sorry to hear of the passing of Grampa Wally. I know he was an important part of Brad's life and Rylee and Mason appreciated his cards. No matter what age, saying good bye is always difficult. We are thinking of all of you.
