Dear Jeri and family,

Your loss is our loss, too. Putt was an excellent friend to Dad, and I will never forget his kindness.
I will often think of our conversations while visiting Dad but especially his visits to Eden School when Emily and Raife were there. So many kids thought of him as their grandfather "Doodah" too.

He was special to many and will be missed ALOT,
Sue Blaisdell

Dear Jeri and Family:
We are so sorry to learn of Putt's passing. Our families made some terrific memories over the years - which we will cherish forever. He has left a hole in the hearts of all who knew and loved him. He will be sadly missed. May you find comfort in knowing that Dad was probably waiting for him by the "gate" with a big smile, a dirty joke and a cold V-O and water! Our thoughts and prayers go out to each and every one of you. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help out. With love and friendship, Judy and Bruce

Jerry.. What an amazing, wonderful, loving, funny gentleman. To each of your family members, I appreciate the positive memories growing up in your house. However, most of all, I will miss Putt giving me a hard time about anything and everything. Yes, I will actually miss this, especially now when I head back to the area for a visit. Everytime I walk into my parents house I think of Putt and Bruce doing the reconstruction of our kitchen and bathroom for our family. Walls family, thank-you for being a huge part of the community. With lots of love, Nancy Regimbal

Dear Jeri and Family,
I was so sorry to hear about Putt's passing. He will truly be missed by many. I will always remember my Friday night visits at Dad's with Putt. He and Dad would tell the greatest stories that kept me laughing all the time. I really appreciated everything Putt did for Dad - a BEST FRIEND in all sense of the word. Our families have shared many wonderful memories over the years and I have peace and comfort knowing Dad and Putt are together again. FAMILY meant everything to Putt and he was always doing for others too. Remember always Putt's gentle smiles, his laughing eyes and loving heart. I am sharing your memories and your sorrow. My thoughts are with the whole Walls' family. Lots of love, Laura ♥♥
