Dear Mrs. Pasiuk, children and family members.
It is with deep sorrow and regret to hear of Wally's passing on.
Please accept Audrey and my condolences and deepest sympathy for your loss.
It is my pleasure to have enjoyed the privilege of knowing and working with Wally for the many years at B.L. Makepeace.
Wally being my boss was one of the best instructors any of us could have and for my first 15 years or so at the company I attribute him with much of the success I enjoyed in my 45 years there.
Whatever I learned in the field of Reprographics, I continue to thank him for his effort to the proper training through instruction that he rendered to me.
Following his retirement, he would visit with me when he was in Boston/Brighton on occasion and it was always a treat to see him and learn how he was enjoying his sabbatical from the work force. Listening about his trips and what he has been doing.
September, 2004 the year I retired from BLM, Inc I called a couple of times to your home in Marshfield and also emailed to the address I had. Unfortunately, we did not connect.
I regret that I never took him up on his invitation to visit in Marshfield. I think I might have been a bit intimidated with not knowing the area.
However, with a lasting thought I will retain.
It was around Christmas or just after the first of January, "09, I was entering addresses to a GPS device in my car and Cottontail Ln was one of them.
I truly was entertaining a trip down to the south shore upon our return back to Massachusetts in early May to see Wally.
If there is a "message here, I/we certainly will find it one day!
In life we meet many associates, however, Wally, I thank you for being my friend.
You truly will be missed!
Tom & Audrey Stone
