Our deepest sympathy to the Osterhaus Family in the loss of Walt. I will always remember the summer of 1970, the year I first got to know Walt when I worked for him on the inspection crew as the County paved the Rowley and Aurora roads. I have many fond memories of that summer, when we worked long hours, but had fun doing it, due in great part to Walt. Walt was fun to know and be around, and he brightened your day with his smile and his positive attitude. That is how I will remember him! He was a kind and gentle man and will be missed by all who knew him. May God Bless and comfort you all.

Thank you for being an amazing Grandpa that I always looked forward to seeing whenever we would have a chance to visit while growing up. I know it was hard being in a military family all my life that we never had much time to share our times with each other, but the times that we were able to the memories experienced will never be lost. From playing punching bag with your belly, being picked up and body surfed, boating, to fishing, playing card games, the family get togethers during the 4th of July, and the times you all travelled to come visit us, you really knew how to make your grand children happy. You will be greatly missed, and I love you. God Bless.
