Papa Kopala always had a way to make people laugh-one of my favorite things about him. Glad his leg crossing has been passed on to all the boys! Now every time someone does it you guys will smile even more so! He was thoughtful and caring even reaching out to me during the pandemic knowing how stressful my job is. He would check in once in a blue moon and ask how I was doing and if I was ok. He was that kind of person. I remember many talks on the porch with him over the years. Some funny and some serious he always gave advice from the heart. He always listened and just wanted to be there. The last time I reached out i told him Happy Fathers Day and how much he meant to me. I’m glad I told him and he knew. I’m sad for the family and the big hole that can never be filled. Praying for everyone . Love u guys.
RIP my friend. Your friend of Bills from Moorestown. Tom D.

I first met Walt the Summer of 1972. And the Gateway out reach program. As soon as I met him I felt love from him right away. And because of him and God and everyone else in the program, I’m here today to be able to write this. He’s a hard man not to love because he gave so much love of himself. And he will be truly missed by me and I’m sure a lot of other people. My sincere condolences to Susan and the whole family.
