| Comments: | This was so touching - I've missed my Dad so much he's been gone 18 years - it's an ache that doesn't really go. As I look forward to the birth of my first grandchild I remember so well how much he loved this granddaughter. I miss you still dear Father. |

| Comments: | today is my dad's birthday. and if he's still alive now, he would have turned 56 year old today (14th february 2004).
though he aint any hero.. neither did he done anything that makes him an hero, he's the best daddy i ever had. his demise made a big impact on me, especially when i was merely a 14yr old kid when he suddenly passed away. Cancer defeated him. for tears i've shed for him, here i wrote a message for him. "Dad, i love you.. " A happy birthday to my dearest father, and happy valentine's day to all. |

| Comments: | Your father sounds like a wonderful person, role model, and hero. If it felt good to hear Dr. Pretz say Well done, faithful servant, think about how good it sounds to your father hearing the same words from God Himself. May your father be an example of a well-lived life. |

| Comments: | Just a note to say how beautiful your tribute to your father is. My father died just one month before your father. He was 86. My mother has been in a nursing home for 1 1/2 years. That was a very difficult time for Dad. They would have been married 65 years on Christmas Day 2002.Thank you again for sharing your special thoughts about your father. |

| Comments: | What a beautiful tribute to your father. I lost my father 20 years ago... yet it seems like only yesterday at times. We daughters have a special bond with our dads that carries on throughout the years. He is as close to me today as he was the last time I saw him and we parted for the day with our normal send off, 'I love you.' One day, I would love to tell his story as you have done here to honor your father. God bless... --Barbara |

| Comments: | In memory of a wonderful uncle.
So many stories come to mind when I think of Walt. He used to make fun of my mother all the time and he wanted to "take my dog, Tobi, for a ride to Little Egg Harbor--and then never return her". For as long as Walt has been a part of my family I can remember is wit and humor, but most of all, his love for his entire family. His faithfulness towards his wife, my Aunt Sue, was extraordinary. Through thick and thin, sickness and health, he always stood by her with love and support. Until I met Walt I don't know if I have ever met a man who put his family on a pedestal. He was an incredible uncle who will always hold a special place in my heart. |

You did it all. You lived a life a man can be proud of. You did it all with class, dignity and love. You will always be a teacher, friend and inspiration to me. And, You were the best Father-In law a man could aks for. I will always miss you. Thank you. Steve |

| Comments: | Although I only met Walt a few years ago, I was very fond of him and respected him as a father-in-law. His passing has left an empty space in my heart. When I think of what was to be with our child being born in June, I am deeply saddened knowing that he/she will never have the opportunity to really know Walt.
When I first came into the Masino family I was made to feel very comfortable. Walt and I could spend hours sitting at the table, with our coffees, talking about health tips, movies, and current events. I have to laugh when I remember how Walt would always be on my side when Matt and I would have a silly bet going on. Walt would say, "Nope, sorry Matt, I have to agree with Brooke" "Thank you, Walt", I would say, and he would give a wink or a quick smile. Walt's ability to make others laugh was effortless. A family game of "Aggravation" would become hysterical when Walt would get aggravated and claim the dice he would use were "broken". There are so many wonderful things I can say about Walt, just as so many others can share their unforgetable memories. Walter was a genuine and caring husband, father & step-father, and friend. Although Walt is no longer with us, his memory will live forever in my heart. |

| Comments: | In very special memory of Walt and to his family,
I had been waiting on Walt and Sue for approximately ,. 2 or 3 years at the Westfield Diner. Almost instantly there was a connection between us. I don't think it was just the fact that they were both so friendly, I guess it was a number of things. There were so many occasions that Walt would come in and order food to go because that was the kind of husband he was to his wife. He would sit at the counter and of course the first thing I would to get his cup of coffee, and then say hey Walt, how ya doing? Walt was so kind and he always made me feel like more then a waitress, he made me feel like a friend. Right before Walt and Sue moved, I had the pleasure of purchasing some their beautiful antique furniture and a very reasonable low price mind you. I took a tour of their lovely victorian home and I knew instantly we were going to get along when I had the pleasure of seeing Walt's patriotic room or should I say Wesley's room. You see I was a little jealous of Wesley I never had my own room growing up Walt, it was also obvious that you had a sense of humor I want to thank all of his family members for allowing me to share my feelings about this great person Walt and I am looking forward ,continually, sharing friendship with you Sue and Tracy. |

| Comments: | My heart goes out to a family who have lost a father, husband, grandfather and without a doubt many, many friends. Just reading of the great things you have done during your lifetime, you were without doubt a good man, faithful to your country and put others before yourself.You have a loving family and you will never be forgotten. The dream you had of having a home on the water was at least realised, short though it may have been,that will be of comfort to your family. There is so much in the world to day that is not good, but reading the tribute on here has indeed restored my faith in human nature. Katie |

| Comments: | We were saddened to learn of Walt's passing. We knew Walt for many years through our business 'Clark Printing Company".
We also know what a wonderful, well respected person he was. When Sue told us of their impending marriage, we were thrilled for both of them. It is hard losing a parent, the sorrow of lost time together in the future is deep, but remember the times that were spend in love and joy. He will be watching over you until you meet again.

| Comments: | I feel like I am invading a family in mourning, but I felt the need to express my deepest sympathy for this family. I don't know if I could make it through losing my Dad. I am 44 years old with 3 grown daughters and 6 grandkids, but I still am daddy's girl. Mr. Johnson must have been a very special man. I know he will be missed more than anyone will ever know. I was just looking for a greeting card to give a elderly couple that was married on January 18, 2003. This gentleman lost his wife 5 years ago, and his kids were against him remarrying. I wish they could read the memorials Mr. Johnson's step children wrote to him. My three daughters, Christy Lynn (25), Mary Beth (22) and Terri Ann (21) have a step dad, and he loves them and our grandkids like they were his own. I know Mr. Johnson is looking down at his family with the biggest smile on his face, very proudly saying YES I BELIEVE I DID DO A JOB WELL DONE. |

| Comments: | I still can't believe that Walter is gone and it pains me to think that all the things I looked foward to will never be. For one, as everyone knows Brooke is pregnant, and Walter was to be the grandfather of the first Masino grandchild. I was so looking forward to the times we were all going to share. I never thought that I would have a grandfather for my kids until Walter came into my mothers life 7 years ago. I remember this past Christmas he told me we were having a girl all because he knew I preferred a boy. He would always kid with me.
I was looking forward to the next baseball season, so I could tell him that the Yankees were going to be number one again and I would hear, "those damn yankees are so lucky, they step in it every year". He would always tell me the Red Sox are going to win, and they never would. So this year if they win I know who is responsible. Walt made my mother so happy, and that meant a lot to me. With her fighting cancer and her severe back pains he was always there to help and give his all to the well-being of my mother. I envy his adoration for my mother and his faithfulness to family. Walter, I miss you dearly, and I will love you forever. Your stepson, Matt M |

| Comments: | I wrote this letter to Walt on January 9, 2003.
Walt, I know that things are going to be different from now on. I just want you to know how much you mean to me. You were there for me through the hardest times of my life. You were there for me when I needed you the most. The first couple of times that I met you, I thought you disliked me. I figured that all your children were grown and you didn't want to "raise" another one. As the years progressed, I realized how very wrong I was. You gave me more love and support in the last 7 years then my biological father ever thought to give me in the last 22 years of my life. You were my true dad. You took me to get my driver's license, you were there for me for my junior and senior proms, my high school graduation, and most important, you were there for me. Now I am mad. Mad at the fact that all I have are memories. Mad at the fact that I don't have the opportunity to make new memories. To have you walk me down the isle on my wedding day. To dance that very special dance with me. To be the greatest grandfather in the world to my children. I remember when I asked you if I could call you "dad" and I saw your face light up and you said, "yes". Well, I couldn't have asked God for a better dad. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Loving you always, Tracy-Lynn Walt will be missed terribly by all those close to him. I will truly miss him. But now I know that he is my angel and you will watch over me forever. |

| Comments: | Walt was not only my sisters husband, lover, companion, he was my brother-in-law. I will always hold a special place in my heart for him for the person he was and most especially how he always gave one thousand percent to Susan. The wedding vows of "in sickness and in health" really took on meaning when Walt got sick and also when Susan went through the traumatic reality of cancer. If it wasn't for Walt and his evident love and encouragement and support, her recovery would have been somewhat hindered or slowed. The two of them only shared three years of marriage but they were the happiest I have seen Susan and Walt was always with a smile. His threats to make my dog, Tobi, a Little Egg Harbor dog were always a source of fun. Christmas was full of laughs and sharing especially his portrayal of 9 pipers piping. I was so proud to be able to share with him his joy of receiving his distinguished service medal in December.Walt was unique and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way! |
