Have only just heard of Wallace's passing and I am deeply sorry.
I have great memories of Wallace and Barbara over many years.
From - John Rawlinson.
I knew Wally (and Barbara) from when we lived in Rai Valley as a young girl. They were friends with my parents.
Wally and Barbara made a handsome couple.
Sad but kind of lovely that they have gone within a short time of each other.
