meomy 971 Report post Posted November 19, 2020 That's tragic news to hear & read. It goes to show one must make the most of been kind to those who you don't know in life and what they may or may not be going through. He was always a friendly chap and will be remembered for his contributions all around including in the late Friday Flash Publication.. Thoughts are with those close to him RIP Wally, up there with all the other Racing greats.
