I was saddened to learn that Hack passed away. I will always remember “Mr. Walling”. I still have a silver dollar coin money clip that he made which Jeff gave to me. Here are a few memories that stand out. The work bench in the garage, the water fountain by the front sidewalk, a brass hand held blow torch, the sound of his rock tumbler, coveralls when working on a car, the sight and smell of barbequed chicken and last but not least, respect.
Please say hello to everyone in the family for me.

Dear Peg,
I was saddened to learn that Hack passed away. I will always remember “Mr. Walling”. I still have a silver dollar coin money clip that he made which Jeff gave to me. Here are a few memories that stand out. The work bench in the garage, the water fountain by the front sidewalk, a brass hand held blow torch, the sound of his rock tumbler, coveralls when working on a car, the sight and smell of barbequed chicken and last but not least, respect.
Please say hello to everyone in the family for me.
