Walter Cannon, Jr. Tribute

My daughter, Shaye, Walter's first cousin was about one year old. It was Thanksgiving Day. The whole family was seated at the dinner table. Shaye kept crying and crying. There was nothing we could do to console her. Walter could not enjoy his dinner until Shaye was happy. He stayed with her until there were no more tears. For some reason that will always leave and indelible mark in the recesses of my memory of what a caring person he was.

I also remember that the last time I saw Walter, just before his death, he had a calmness surrounding him. He seemed to be at peace.
