My condolences to Barry, Doug and family. As we all know Wally could be difficult, miserable and very stubborn but still had a big heart. We travelled to the States one time for a 3 day towing convention with myself, my ex wife Shari and Emily. I drove thank god in their car. Got nailed speeding by a plane doing radar, 85 mph in a 55 mph. Automatic jail but the cop dropped my speed down as not to inconvenience us and gave me a $300 ticket. Lol Fun trip once away from Winnipeg and towing drama. Wally was one of a kind. We had a lot of restaurant suppers the 4 of us. Good times. One of a kind type of guy!
