Our hearts go out to Walters wife and to his family. Walter will be long remembered as a brave firefighter and a kind and loving man. He will also be missed by his "extended family" at Happy Tails dog park. We lost a man in love with nature, who nurtured and cared for his own dogs, but also all the dogs at the small dog park who loved him so. For those of us who will miss him at the park, we've lost not only a friend, but our own 'Saint Francis'.
