Death notice for the town of: Fort Worth, state: Texas
My name is Don Coker, brother of Darwin Coker who was a friend of Walter at Sears. My brother spoke highly of Walter and his war experiences. I served 10 years in all in the United States Air Force, active and inactive, and the Arizona Air National Guard. So I consider Walter a former comrade in arms. In my opinion Walter was of the highest order of the “Greatest Generation” who delivered good old America from the hands of our worst enemies. As a parting shot, I say, “Thanks for your service, Walter!”
