Former Band Student when he substituted at LCI. Thank you Mr. Falk.
Sending our sincere condolences, Elvera, to you and your Family. We were deeply saddened to hear about Walter. We both loved to listen and watch Walter play the Piano. God gave him an incredible gift & it was a 'gift' to us to hear him play. May God give you Comfort and Peace.
So very sorry for your loss, Elvera. Please know that you're in our thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Don and Sandi Hegland
Sorry to hear of Walter's passing. He was my first band teacher many years ago and taught me how to play trombone! He was always kind and supportive of young musicians - despite the sometimes painful sounds he must have endured with all those beginning instrumentalists! To this day, 40 years later, I still play trombone regularly in several ensembles. Thank you Mr. Falk, may you find everlasting peace and well-tuned harmony. Blessings to all his family and friends.
Walter was a Christian gentleman and a valued friend .We will miss him ! Mel & Doris Vienneau
