Dear Brown family: Sorry for your loss. I noticed the obit in the Sioux City Journal. He was my little league baseball coach when Terry was on the team. I have very fond memories of my youthful years on the team. He was a great coach and always fair and kind. It is nice to know he took the time out of his busy life to make life better for us kids.

Dear Walt, Your work on earth is done. Rest in peace dear friend. Thank you for being there when I needed you and Rosie. Sorry I couldn't return the kindness. You have been on my mind the last couple weeks. I should've known that was a sign. Rest well now and tell Dave hello for me. You will be missed. Much love to the family.
