Guestbook

  1. Doug and Celia Topping:
    To Beth and family: I’m sorry to hear of your dad’s passing. Walt was such a great guy to work with at Kodak. We had so much fun together, although the tox studies sometimes became tense… I have a picture of me with him in front of Buckingham Palace when we were in London to evaluate a lab. A great trip early in my Kodak career! It was also great to see him a few years ago when he came for Gary’s going away party. Rest in peace, Walt. Doug

  2. To Beth and the Krasavage Family:

    Bill and I send our heartfelt condolences to the family at this most challenging time. We were so grateful for the opportunity to spend time with Uncle Walter in the past few years when he visited North Eastetn PA. To be with my folks and us. He will be sadly missed and remembered akways. I know he will be happy to be reunited with Maureen for eternity.

    Love.
    Maureen and Bill Walsh

      recent trips to PA.

  3. To Beth and Family:

    Johanna and I were saddened to hear that your father passed away. It was a privilege to have spent my first years (1974-76) in B-306 at Kodak working with Walt in the toxicology labs. He helped me set-up our microscope labs, and guided me on some of the Kodak programs. Joe & Johanna Gorsuch
