Many years ago Walt was one of my best friends. He was a bartender at a very famous bar, The Hog Penny, now part of the College of Charleston. We hung out with his best friends, John Wise and Bill Warlick. That must have been 1973. We all hung out at the beaches, including Sullivan's Island. I was in a wreck with him driving us all - he missed the big curve and we went into the sand dunes... John lived a few yards from the beach and we stayed at his house sometimes after a night at the bars. Walt used to live on Folly Beach near the Washout. Between the four of us we knew almost everyone in town. Walt was one of the nicest people I have ever known. Sorry that we lost contact. I value the memories! Condolences to his relatives...
