R.I.P. Chief Hanlon. Deepest sympathies to Carolyn and family. Walt and I certainly had a lot of memorable experiences together.
My sincere condolences to Carolyn and his son Walter Jr. for the loss of Walter Sr. He was a very fine gentleman and I have enjoyed being friends with you over the years. He has suffered a long time, may he rest in peace.
Farewell Chief. Your dedication to the FPD and the City of Fulton were second to none. Our best to Carolyn and Walt Jr.
