Sad to hear.
Maybe he will get one more Tom Rinaldi story in the fall, it will be a tear jerker for sure.

Yea, this has been a bad offseason for Auburn and Bama. Both fan bases just need the season to hurry and get here.
Rest In Peace, Walt. You made a positive impact on so many people.

I remember his story on an ESPN piece and was captivated by how easily he could make Saban laugh and grin.
Walt and LSU supefan Sid Ortis can talk smack to each other in heaven now.
Rip Walt.

Much sadness, yet it's pleasant to see such a strong outpouring of support for these young men and their families.
