I apologize if this memory is a repeat. I lost what I had earlier typed.
But my condolences to the Keegan family. I have great memories of my childhood years hanging out with Walter. We were constant companions from around the 5th to 8th grades. We attended OLV and spent countless hours riding our bikes all over town and helping out around the church and the school. I remember his family well. We both were lucky to be welcomed all the time into each other's homes.
I am not surprised Walter maintained a love for automobiles. I am pretty sure that was handed down from his Dad who used to run around in I would guess a Ford of perhaps the 1940's vintage. It was not unusual to find Walter driving the thing on a back road even at an early age. I picked up my interest in cars and modeling from Walter.
We loved baseball as well. He could really run and played for Knights of Columbus in Little League. He made the All Star team. I still have an old photo of him and I in New York on our way to the Baseball Hall of Fame with my parents.
He introduced me to crabbing as well. We bought the cages and would hang out by the river near the brickyard.
We lost track of each other when we went to different high schools and I ended up here in Ohio. But I maintain a lot of great memories, his enjoyment of rock 'n roll, going to the first McDonalds in the area and Walter being the only one who would stand up to the bully in grade school.
I hope his service is a happy one. I will say a prayer.
