Sorry to hear about the death of Wally Glass last year (just read about it now). I was friends with Noel and Kelly, with Wally being the big brother I didn't know so well. Many years ago in Australia I met up with Noel and ended up on a road trip with Noel, Wally and Tess. It was brilliant and I remember it well to this day. Soon after I went to live in the Northern Hemisphere and saw neither Wally or Noel again, sadly. Wally was a cool guy and astute in his observations, like the rest of his family. Condolences to all.

My deepest sympathy to Tess and family.
I always enjoyed having a chat to Walter at various functions around Palmy

Sorry to see Wally passed away. I have often thought of you over the years.

Tessa & family. We were deeply saddened to learn of Walter's passing. We treasure the laughs we had when neighbours at No 19. Love to all.

Dear Tess,

I was so sorry to hear about Walter. I loved his company and remember fondly the meetings and meals were shared with you both. I am sending you a bigger than big hug.

To Tessa and family.
We are sorry to hear of Walter's passing, our thoughts are will you. He was a true genuine bloke and well respected by many across the industry.
He will be sorely missed.

Dear Tess, I am so saddened and shocked to hear this. My deepest condolences to you and your family. Walter was many things to us in the transport and logistics industry, a leader, a mentor and an amazing visionary. Most importantly he was a very good friend. A sad day for our country indeed, a mighty redwood has fallen. Uhambe kahle mngani wami, Go well my friend

To Wally's extended family - and Kelly.
Very sad to hear of Wally's passing.
A top bloke and one who popped up on my Grey Star work in-box over the years out of the blue, just to say hi and catch-up. With him being one of the 'organizers' of the 5th form hair-cut strike among borders at SKC Oamaru way back in 1971, it's just one of those memories about him as a then young fellow, one smiles about. The outcome ... the whole school was all allowed longer hair as a result. There was even a cartoon in the Otago Daily Times at the time about it. Wish I had kept it.
A genuine gentleman and Coaster, gone far too early. Thoughts and prayers with you all. It was a pleasure to have known him.

Dear Tess and family ... really sad to hear of Wal's passing, and so glad to have caught up a few months ago. You were so blessed to have such a wonderful husband, father and grandfather...

Dear Tess and family, so sad to hear your Walter has passed away. Our love and thoughts are with you.
Hugs Tracy and Mike

To Tess and family, so sad to hear of Wal's passing. Wonderful memories of a wonderful man
