To the Case family, so sorry for your loss it is never easy no matter what age you lose a beloved family member . He was blessed to have lived 94-95 years of good health and enjoying the activities he loved. He had suffered a bad fall not long ago for which caused him a great deal of pain , he is at peace now with no suffering. It was a pleasure knowing him and just amazed by his abilities to enjoy all the physical activities that he did ! RIP Walt Sr.
Sincere condolences to the Case family. Walt sure lived a happy and full life. Still remember the good times roughing it at Goodnow Flow before the camp was even built and fishing for bullhead on the lake. Many happy times, the good old days for sure. Rest in peace Walt Sr.
I have fond remembrances of Mr Case ( as I called him as a child ) he brought us to school every day as he worked the midnight shift at Scott Paper, I basically lived at his home because Sue and I were and still are close friends, my mom once told me to pack a suitcase and move in because I was there more than I was home, Funny thing is I know Mr and Mrs Case would have allowed it, may he RIP and know his family loved him
