He was a warm and wonderful human being and a great reporter with a fantastic sense of humor who was a mentor to me and inspired me and appreciated my writing as well. This is great loss and my condolences.

I was a casual acquaintance but each time we met, I was instantly happy., His mix of smarts, charm and joie de vivre. Who but Walter could have had a con man relative who pulled a fast one on Hitler and who but Walter could have decided this was book worthy and pulled it off. How lucky for you to have had such a close friend. A rare soul.

I think of TWM in the second half of the 70's like the '86 Mets. Very sorry we've lost another of your teammates.
