Tributes & Memories
I will miss Wolt. He was a very nice person and a lot of fun to be around.In his eighties he even learned to tango(thanks to his daughter, Jessica) to help his balance. He told me about the motorcycle trip he and his wife took to Mexico and how they could slow down and trade places without stopping.He had a lot of great memories and a great family.

My sympathies to Wolters immediate and extended family. I feel so privileged to have known such a kind, gentle and considerate person (if only for such a short time). Our generation and those to come could learn so much from the experiences and knowledge of the many "Walts" that we have been honored to have had in our lives. . . . May you always enjoy your tango music and 'dance like no one is watching'.
