A visitation will be held Tuesday, January 13, at Cedar Memorial Park Chapel of Memories, Cedar Rapids, from 10:00 a.m. until the funeral service, 11:00 a.m. Interment will follow at Cedar Memorial Park Cemetery.
Wally was born and grew up in Mechanicsville, Iowa. He spent his entire career at Rockwell Collins, retiring after 40 years in 1995. In 2014, Wally received a lifesaving kidney transplant.
