"I worked with Walt at Steffy's for about 13 years and I just have to share one of the most memorable moments I had with him. During one of the hottest day's of summer working in the shop I told Walt that if he's out running errands, I would sure love to have a "dilly-bar" from Dairy Queen. Thinking that would probably never happen, later in the day Walt came walking towards me with a Dairy Queen bag in his hand with a BIG smile on his face. (mine too) I opened the bag to find a HOT bowl of Chili from Dairy Queen to enjoy during that hot afternoon...No "dilly-bar" for me!!! I'm not sure who got the biggest laugh out of that, but during the hot summer months, I'll always remember that bowl of chilli from Walt!"
