Dear Curleys:
What a sad day for the world. How I loved Walter. His memory for names was legendary as was his charm. There is a big gap in the world of elegance and fun. With all my love. Alison Wardrop - Pittsburgh - June 10, 2016

I will always remember him as one of the kindest and most gentle men I ever knew. When I stopped by to say hello he always had a big smile on his face and never seemed to be too busy to talk to me....and I loved to listen to his stories. He will be sorely missed!

My wife and I were saddened to hear of Walter's passing. I remember being in Pittsburg - seeing my first firefly at his home. He was my father, Jay Ray Donahue's, cousin. During his tenure as Ambassador to France, a French citizen found my father's plane off the coast of Corsica and Walter was instrumental in assisting them in getting recognition for my father's contribution to the war effort. We are so proud to have known him and to have had him as a guiding force in the family. It is always a severe loss when someone of his caliber, as a human being is lost. His generation, the Greatest Generation, are passing into history. The fact that we know them, that we have listened to their words and have followed their lead is an honor.

Rest In Peace - and our prayers are with you all.
