Growing up Wallace lived up the street from me and was the sweetest boy, and always so shy. Such a nice guy and really liked him! So sorry to hear of his loss and just another missing piece of our past.

Wally was as nice a kid as I can remember. We, who lived around or close to Sue Haswell park
spent alot of time in the summers when we were younger. That is where I came to know Wally.
I am glad to have known him then and at SFA. I hate losing my classmates even though I may not have
seen them for years, I know those were some of best years of my life. May he rest in peace and I hope
his family knows that he was a good friend to manu of us. And we along with them will miss him.

Great memories of Wally after we graduated from SFA and were enrolled in Allen Academy. He was always ready for a good time and enjoyed life to the fullest. Sending my condolences to his family.
