I will miss my chats with Wally about race cars. We built a couple of motors together and had a lot of fun.
My condolences to the Family

My sincere condolences go out to Lyn and family. It’s been many years since I’ve seen Wally.
We spent many years in the late 1950’s early sixties building race cars together . At that period in our lives, we were into drag racing.
We spent many, many hours in the garage building, rebuilding our cars. We were partners on several drag race cars and travelled may thousands of miles going to and from dragstrips. Our first drag strip that we raced at was near Kingston, Ontario (Mohawk drag strip in Deseronto.) This was in the very early years of drag racing and the track was and old abandoned air strip. There were no sophisticated starting systems then, like there is today Back then they had a flag man to start the race.
We went our separate ways in 1969 as I started a new career and moved to Ottawa.
We had many great experiences and I always admired Wally. He could do almost anything mechanical. He was a much better driver than I was. He was fearless. Always turned faster times than I did.
I miss those days back then, working with a good friend, and often think of him and boast of him as I fondly recall and tell stories of our fun days together back in the day.
He will be fondly missed by all who knew him.
Till we meet again, my friend.

You were an incredible father. Why you ever agreed to take on us three as step kids I am not sure. We were a handful. I was blessed to have you and I’ll never forget the love you brought to our family.
