Walter Childs, passed away at the Jordan hospital around noon yesterday. He had pneumonia as a complication from his cancer and was on a respirator at the hospital. His heart finally gave out.

Walter’s family is still making plans for the funeral, which they now expect to be held next Monday or Tuesday.

(This information came through Jim Canaday from Gil Stubbs.)

Walter was a life-long friend to all in the New England magic community, a true professional and a class act. He will be dearly missed.

Tony

My sympathies to Walter's family and friends for their loss.
