I had the pleasure of knowing Wally since joining the Sun Valley Marching Band in 1993. My parents joined the Band & Choral Association and became friends with Wally and worked with him for many years. My dad and Wally corresponded often until my dad's passing. I returned to the Sun Valley Band Family in 2002 as a staff member and had the pleasure of working with Wally again, and now currently teach his grandson Colton at Avon Grove Charter School. Wally loved music, and I know he loved seeing Colton perform and will continue to watch with his lovely wife. My sincerest condolences to all of Wally's family and friends. He will be truly missed.

Wally was a wonderful person. We worked together on Sun Valley Band And Choral association for many years. I remember his devotion to his wife Joanne. Now he can join her in heaven. Rest In Peace Wally. Joanne Sunick
