Mr. Wallace gave me my nick-name of Kaybo and he and his sweet wife Mrs. Ruthie touched my life in a sweet way from a very young age. They both are missed and so thankful to have known them. Prayers for the family.
Wallace and I were lifelong friends, school mates and served together in the US Air Force together. A great man that will be greatly missed.
