I was a brand new rookie when I met Wally at my first house, 52C. He was always patient with me, soft spoken but very knowledgeable and a great Engineer. Great memories – Thanks Wally RIP
Joy Longworth says
Thank you for your kind words. Yes he was soft spoken, kind , patient. Probably a great teacher.
Our family truly misses him.
The Fire community have been very good to me.
Take care.

As a brand new Captain, Wally was my Engineer at Fire Station 52. He was a good gentle man and he taught me many things about commanding a company. Wally drove me for several days during the the 1992 civil unrest. He remained at 52’s for many years up until his retirement. He will be missed!
Joy Longworth says
It’s always good to see you at the different events. Wally loved his job.
Unfortunately, he had to retire due to disabilities. But he/we enjoyed life on our many world travels.
