I had the real pleasure of working with Wally for the last few years at Wattisham. I feel privileged to have known him, but feel empty now he has gone.
Wally broke the news to us last December that he was ill, and he left work that day. I met with him on three occasions after that, and each time he was the same guy, but increasingly frail. Only three weeks ago he attended the wedding of one of his sons, and I think that pretty much completed Wally's story.
Tireless to the end, a truly special person. I'll miss him more than any other colleague.
