Very sorry for Paul’s passing. Paul was truly one of a kind. One of the best senses of humor I ever met. I feel very fortunate have enjoyed rounds golf with him and just spend time which was always special. Our prayers go out to the Walther family and friends but know so many people admired, loved and will miss Paul. RIP Paul you left a great impression on anyone you met.
To Paul’s family……My sincere sympathy to all of the Walther family. I met Barbara first and then Paul.
He was a gentleman from the very start and after his family, his next love was the town of Norwood. I was at his home before he became ill, several times and all he ever talked about was Norwood. So today I say that the family lost a loving father and friend and Norwood lost a wonderful person. RIP Paul.
Paul was one of a kind. I loved listening to his stories and going on golf trips with the men’s club at Old Tappan. My deepest condolences go out to his family.
God Bless Paul
