To Tony's family,
All of us who belong to the Milltown Alumni Association share in your loss. For those of us who were in high school in the late 50's and early 60's knew Tony well. He was a good athlete and a friend to all. He will be remembered at the Alumni Banquet this year at the memorial table.

My sincerest condolences to the family of Walter. He was such a kind man and what a great speaker. I knew Walter from Toastmasters and I must say that he always had a speech in his pocket (in memory ready to give). I vividly remember meeting him the first time and the speech he did when he compared life to a deck of cards... that we deal each moment away and to make the most of each day. He will be greatly missed.

TONY WAS MY CLASSMATE AND VERY SPECIAL FRIEND. WE RAN AROUND TOGETHER AS CLASSMATES AND AFTER WE GRADUATED, MARRIED AND MOVED TO NEW ALBANY. TONY DIDN'T HAVE A CAR, SO MY WIFE AND I WOULD PICK UP TONY AND GRACE TO GO OUT TOGETHER. DURING OUR
HIGH SCHOOL YEARS, I WOULD GO BY AND PICK HIM UP TO GO RUNNING AROUND. WE ALWAYS HAD A GREAT TIME TOGETHER. THE FAMILY HAS MY SYMPATHY AND PRAYERS. I CAN'T ATTEND BECAUSE I AM HOME SICK
WITH BRONCHITIS.
