His Memorial Service will be held Saturday, April 22.  Here is a link to his obituary with details:


Walter was a founding member of Brent's Bunch, and even after he was no longer able to dance, he accompanied Ilona to the dances and was a terrific salesman of 50/50 tickets.

Very Sad News - Walter Witt

Ilona and Walter in 2019
  

I'm very sorry to let you know that Walter Witt passed away about an hour ago.  He had been suffering greatly the last few days.  He did get time with all his kids.  He was going to turn 89 soon, which was why I happened to call Ilona today. 

There will be a service in April sometime and I will provide details once available.

We will bring a card to the dance Thursday for all to sign. If you'd like to send your own card to Ilona, here is her address:
