There are many words that come to mind when I think of my dearest Uncle Walter Pariseau. The one that keep coming back is 1 Corinthians 13 from the bible. Love is patient that he always was. Love is kind, that he always was.Love does not boost, that he never did.Love is not rude, that he never was. Love is not self seeking that he never was.Love is not easily angered, that was true he was not easily angered.Love keeps no record of wrongs. That he never did he was a forgiving heart.Love does not delight in evil. But rejoices in the truth. He was always happy for people who would succeed. Love always protects, that he did. Love always trusts, that he did.Love always hopes, even in his acceptance of passing he had hope in his heart.Love always perseveres, that he did.Love never fails, and he believed.My Uncle was a Loving Husband to his wife.My Uncle was a Loving Father to his Children.My Uncle was a Loving Son To his Mother, and Father.My Uncle was a Loving Grandfather to all his GrandChildren.My Uncle was a Loving Brother.My Uncle was a Loving Uncle.My Uncle was a loving master to his animinals.My Uncle was a Loving and caring Spirit to all he knew.He did not judge a man by his pocket book he did not judge a man period he treated all human life with respect.And Most of all he loved and acknowledged his Creator Jesus Christ.May his love he showed all of us in his life reflect back to us.My Uncle will be sadly missed by all he had the honor to know him.Love you forever Uncle Wally.Your Niece Frances Ricchio
