Walter (WBJones) passed away last night in his sleep.

He had been fighting cancer for a while.

This is really getting tiring.

If any other info comes up I'll pass it on.

Like I said in the Rant thread, I'm at a loss for words. And that takes a lot.

So sorry to hear this news. My sincerest condolences to his family and close friends. What a loss to the community.

Dammit, so soon? I got an email about a week ago and he seemed to be doing well despite the recent blood clot in his leg. I am so sad right now, but thank you so much for letting us know Toyman.

Damn. Water was a good guy. :-(

Thank you for letting us know. If you find out about services and donation / flower information that would be nice to know about as well.

Am I allowed to have favorites? Walter was one of those people who truly made this a community.

Let us all raise a toast to him tonight, and offer a prayer or word of solace for his family. Godspeed, friend.

That's three times I've been caught unexpectedly. I hope that Brian, Mike and Walt have found the best racetrack up there.

Mr.Jones always seemed to have a kind word of encouragement ready for anyone that needed it here, even as he battled ill health. Well done sir, till we meet again.
