Early in our relationship me wife and I were blessed with an incredible couple to be our neighbors- Walt is a veteran and spent many years as a firefighter- an Axe men, a door kicker he went in to save people- then he became a ems tech and later in life a arson inspector. As part of the Axemen biker club he’s done thousands of charitable events and runs for sick children and children burn victims- even went to clown college because he said those kids deserve better than old fake clown. Anyhow a giving a moral man who was happy to teach what he knew- was friends with Chuck Buck of Buck knives and also personal friends with some members of the British rock bands Humble Pie and fog hat- when he met people he made an impact on them. Well he’s had two strokes back to back and while he’s awake and conscious he’s not here any more- no response to outside stimuli. He has a wonderful wife and children and grandkids and an army of friends- I’m asking for prayers for my friends family- and that he may pass peacefully cause recovery is not an option barring a miracle. Walt knew the Word of God- was Saved by Christ- had been Shepard to the lost and weak- myself included. I count him as a memeber of Gods warrior brotherhood. They’d just come back from wintering in FL- and these last few weeks with work and a new baby we’d put off getting together with them- always next week- next weekend.
Don’t put those meetings with loved ones off, we aren’t here on our own time- it’s all borrowed. Thanks for reading my rambling post about my very good friend.
