    Vick and I will will always remember you for all you did to help us. Vick enjoyed working with you on his summer breaks for college. Now you and Harold Williams can catch up! I’m sure there be some of that going on. Rejoice, you are home with Gods now!

    With much love,
    Vick and Kathy Williams

    Gonna miss you Wallace. You were always good to me and my family. All of the Swanson’s were great friends. Fly high with Gerald, Mrs Cordie and Mr Swanson!

    Wally was a good friend. We will cherish the many special luncheons, other occasions and pleasant conversations we have shared with him and Gerald over the years, especially since 2003 when we moved back to Brookhaven. We even moved into his neighborhood and went to the same church and have enjoyed the close relationship that evolved since that time. My wife Jan remembers many fond memories of growing up across from the Swanson family and playing with his sister Martha. He will be missed.
