William Walters - 1932-2013

My father passed away on September 8th, 2013.  He was a wise and generous man.  Here are some of the things he taught me.


  • It’s all just Physics. 
  • Treat your wife special. 
  •  Eat Supper with your family.
  •  Toys can be found in empty barrels.
  •  Don’t be afraid to create the tool you need.
  • Boys need dens. 
  • If it’s not Physics, it must be theology.
  •  Be bold.  You can always paint over it.
  • Just because you saw the wrong end off, doesn’t mean you can’t use it somewhere else.
  • Don’t shy away from something because it’s complicated.
  •  There’s no shame in going back to a job you love. 
  • Money doesn’t grow on trees…
  • However, don’t be afraid to spend money on important things.
  • Take time to rest.
  •  Spend good time with Family.
  •  Pay attention.
  •  Give thanks for your daily bread.
  •  Old sleds are better.
  • Try to win, but don’t let losing bother you.
  • It’s all relative. 
  • Music doesn’t need words.
This was supposed to be published on September 9th, but apparently there was an issue between the keyboard and the chair.
