From Casey Gibbs

Hello friends,

If you have not heard, dear Walter Patterson passed away peacefully this morning. The visitation will be Monday, with the services on Tuesday. I do not have the specifics of where the services will be held in Nashville, but if I do obtain them soon, I will let you all know.

What a lifelong friend to me and my family. Wendy is in Nashville with her mother, Ruthie.

Saddened,

Cathy

I am so sorry to read this.

I check the Nashville obits every morning and this has not appeared yet.

I knew Walter for many years- since he and Ruth were with the Zacchinis back in the fifties.

I last saw him when he went through the Scottish rite class several years ago. He had worked as a union stage hand here in town since leaving the road.

All our sympathies go to the family.

Dave and Mary Jane

Our hearts and prayers are with Ruthie and Wendy. Walter was a unique individual, athlete, gymnast, acrobat , performer, from the Flying Zacchini's, Mr. Bell , Walt and Wendy- whatever he did, he did it well . I'm sure he and Dinky are cutting a few jackpots as we speak, along with Donnie and Eddie. An era gone by. God Bless ! Kay and Robert Parker and Family
