I could not have wished for better neighbors and friends than the Walstons while I was growing up. For one thing, as a kid, it was pretty cool that Mr. Walston would bring home fire trucks and ambulances! And since Brad was such a good friend, allowed me the privilege to join in on some family vacations. If there is any one person who knew how to enjoy this life, it's Mr. Walston. As I grew older, I appreciated this characteristic more and more. Although we have long since moved away from the neighborhood, I cannot forget his zest (no P&G pun intended) for life. Always had a smile on his face - almost like he was up to something! In my mind I still picture him looking right at home driving by in the old Buick Electra, or Caddy, or pickup truck, cigar in mouth. He was always there when help was needed, and often was like a guardian of the neighborhood along with Larry Naranjo. I remember Mr. Walston once chasing down the neighborhood troublemaking kid and giving him a good spanking. O.K., that was ages ago. Funny what one remembers. May God bless all of you in this difficult time. I have certainly been blessed by having Mr. Walston a part of my life's memories.##imported-begin##Dave Lisiecki##imported-end##
