It has come to my attention, both through the WoW website and also emails with Wally’s daughter, Carol, that Wally has lung cancer and is not doing well. He spent 4 days in the hospital last week and is now in hospice care. His blood work is all messed up and in addition to affecting his speech, has slowed him down such that he sleeps a lot now.
Carol is reading Wally the cards, emails and passing along phone conversations as they come in.
Carol gave me permission to pass along her email address. I do not want to post it on an open forum because I do not want her to get hit with spam – so if you would like her address, please PM me.
I know you will join me in wishing Wally all the best and thank him for all the help he has given to the woodturning world!
I had the pleasure of doing an interview with Wally a few years back. For those of you who have not read it, please do. He is a fascinating man!
God bless you Wally and thanks!
Here are a few photos that Carol sent to us.
