Remembering - Wally Hartung

Remembering - Wally Hartung

On Thursday, December 29, 2022, God called our friend, Wally, home. Wally was one of our most dynamic, boisterous, and high-spirited Caring Kitchen volunteers. The best words to describe him would be 'dedicated,' 'heartful' and 'selfless.' Wally wore many volunteer hats. Not only did he deliver meals to our homebound clients on a weekly basis, but he also picked up Caring Kitchen food donations from various congregations, agencies, and private residences. Wally was a friend to all. He was the first one to jump in and help, no matter the task. He never said NO, and we were grateful that he always made time in his busy schedule to assist in any way. A master woodworker, he built ramps for our homebound client's homes. Once, he was tasked with picking-up some non-perishable food items from a wheelchair-bound donor. After delivering the food items, Wally then returned to the donor's home and assisted the donor with some minor home repairs. He also never missed a staff's and volunteer's birthday or anniversary. Wally, you will be greatly missed. Rest in Peace.
