Dear Smith family, I was saddened to see Walter’s obituary in the Asheville Citizen-Times. I remember working with him at our store , Pearlman’s Carpet years ago. He always was a lovely , fine and honest gentleman. I know you will miss him, he was such a nice man, always kind to me during our dealings with flooring for the homes he built. Sincerely, sally pearlman
