Wally, Karen and were blessed that we were able to visit with you in June before you left us. It was fun to talk baseball again, as you reminded me of every player and position on the 2005 World Series White Sox team. As you’ve told me several times, you are a “expert on baseball”. Thank you for reminding me of all the White Sox trivia I’ve fotgotten over the years.
After visiting Amanda, Dan and the Boys in California the last two years, I can assure you that the love of baseball will continue your family for years to come. And now that your a little closer to the supreme commissioner, maybe the South Side “Hit men” can make a return to winning October baseball.
Bless You and your whole family. This came too soon.
