Wallace Sr. and I grew up together until I left Wichita Falls for military service in 1969. And yes, he was the life of the party. We spent a lot of time at the YMCA playing basketball, swimming, playing dominoes, spades, and ping pong. He was so funny, but could be very serious when the time came for it. I haven’t seen him in many years, but that will not affect my missing him. For the whole family that have survived I pray that JEHOVAH GOD will give you comfort until the time comes where all those in the memorial tunes will hear his voice and come out.

My deepest condolences, classmate.
You, indeed had a smile that would light up the room! I’m positive that you will be missed dearly.
I never knew that you were married to my cousin, Elaine, until reading this, as I left Wichita not long after graduation.
My condolences to the family. May you find the peace that only God can supply at this very sad and difficult time.
Rest peace.
Wallace, my cousin and partner in crime when we were kids, like the time you almost drowned me in that pool. (LOL) We had so much fun, playing, chasing fire flies at night, and just being kids. Daddy and Aunt Jeanette would threaten us, but we knew that it was all in love. I’m going to miss that smile, that laugh, and just hearing from you. Rest in peace my love. See you on the other side.
