- Debbie NattingerI want to express my condolences to the family of Walt. I worked as his secretary at Colt Industries for a few years. Walt was an example of what a true gentleman should be. He was always polite and honorable. You knew his love of God and family and he was highly respected. I have missed Walt over the years since I left Colt Industries, but have thought of him often. He was a great man and I look forward to seeing him again in heaven.
God bless you,
