May your wonderful memories comfort you in the days ahead. #9 from: Vickie McGowan Prospect Tue, Jul 28, 2026 at 9:25 AM My deepest sympathy to Wally's family. One of my fondest memories of Wally was his passionate teaching of the young teens and his grandsons at Prospect Baptist Church. His laughter was so contagious. Heaven now has a baritone singer to blend in with the choir. We will miss him. #10 from: Lori Lauer Rowland Bucyrus, Ohio Tue, Jul 28, 2026 at 4:41 PM Carol & family, I send my sincere condolences to you on Wally's passing. I rented from Wally & Carol for several years in Prospect before moving north. He was always very helpful & kind to me as a single mom doing her best. May God bring you peace & encouragement through Wally's blessings bestowed on others. #11 from: William Hoffman Pittsburgh, Pa. Fri, Jul 31, 2026 at 5:58 PM My condolences to Carol and the entire Penry family. Wally was very accomplished and a great friend. One of my favorite memories is when he asked my dad, Frank, if dad wanted to take a flight in Wallys plane. Dad, being a B-17 pilot in WW2, quickly agreed. On the flight Wally asked dad if he wanted to take the controls...dad said yes. It was one of my dad's favorite days. Rest in peace, Wally.   #12 from: Janet Curtis Jones Delaware Ohio Mon, Aug 3, 2026 at 3:50 PM So sorry for your loss. You are in our prayers. Wally was a very special person. Carol so very sorry.
