We send our sincere sympathy and prayers to Bruck and Tom, and the whole family. Uncle Walt was a very active family member of the Kass family. When he was in Korea, Uncle Walt sent beautiful chilna dishes to my Mother Frances Dykstra. I still use those gorgeous dishes in my home every dayl I also stayed overhight with Uncle Walt and Aunt Carolyn in my younger years. I have fond memories of both of them.
