I met Walter at a Healthcare Design conference where he presented about his work with Parkland. He was smart, good-natured, and passionate about good design. He served on the Health Environments Research & Design Journal's Editorial Advisory Board. I'm so saddened by this news. My heart goes out to his family. Rest in Peace, Walter.

So sorry to hear about Walter, my condolences to his family and friends. I met Walter at Clemson University when we were both graduate students in the Architecture program. We were roommates in an apartment our 1st year and housemates along with Will Bethune our second year. Walt was a kind and gentle soul with a great sense of humor. Family was very important to him along with science fiction. I enjoyed his company and I am sure he will be missed by family and friends.

To the Jones Family: Walter held a place of reverence for his colleagues in the industry. When he held the power and influence of specific roles, he shared the light so others could shine too. He was an impressive leader and thinker. Some light is lost in his passing; and some insight is gained because he was here. I wish you peaceful moments during this time of mourning.

Take comfort in the knowledge that God will see you and the children through this and remember to lean on his word when you need additional strength. I love you. Cookie
