Though I only met you once, I could feel your Inner strength and kindness you possessed, I am friends with Ken and Carrie and their WONDEFUL CHILDREN. It hurts me to see how much your positive presence influenced so many, but for now is gone.
I can only hope and pray for the safe future of your family and the continued prayers for you Wally.
I wish I COULD OF BEEN HALF THE MAN AS YOU ARE.
I will continue your passion in sports and fair game as I have neen told so much about.
I will perceive the world as good, until the decision is made different BY THE ALMIGHTY.
God bless you Wally and your family and friends as you will never be forgotten in my eyes and my personal passsion of goodness and fair game.

Be strong Rolniak family you have many ALLIES

Wally I am back to work since you left me and it is very hard and I miss you soo much. I still expect to see you at your desk or just sit in my office and talk about the sox or bears. There was so much you did for me and now I am lost without you. I think of you every waking second of my day and still do not want to belive you are gone. I want to just hear your voice so you can make me laugh. I hope you are watching down on us and taking care of us. Especially Moe and the girls. It hurts so much that you cant be with them. They keep telling me time will help but I don't think time will ever heal my wounds and my broken heart. Please always show me the right direction. I miss you partner and I miss your friendship. You are always in my thoughts. I hope you are well. If you see my dad tell him I miss him and love him too very much. Take care Wally. I know you did not like the mushy stuff buy I do love you. No one will ever replace you as my number two guy. We have retired that number.
